The
House of the Virgin Mary (Turkish:
Meryem Ana Evi) is a
Catholic and
Muslim shrine located on
Mt.
Koressos (Turkish:
Bülbüldağı) in the
Selçuk district of
İzmir Province.
Catholic pilgrims visit the house based on the belief that
Mary, the mother of
Jesus, was taken to this stone house by
Saint John and lived there until her
Assumption (according to
Catholic doctrine) or
Dormition (according to
Orthodox belief). It is believed that
Virgin Mary had lived the final years of her life in this stone house.
