Turkey is home to one of Christianity's oldest churches.
Apart from the fact that several notable Christian sites (such as the Hagia Sophia) are located in Turkey, one of the religion's oldest churches is located in modern-day Antakya. The Crusaders later built a gorgeous stone façade on a cave in Antioch, believed to have been dug by the Apostle Peter himself as the very first Christian church.
