Theological School of Halki

The Theological School of Halki is an important Greek Orthodox theological seminary located on Heybeliada (Halki) Island near Istanbul, Turkey. Established in 1844, it has historically served as a center for religious education and priestly training within the Orthodox Church. The school symbolizes the spiritual and educational heritage of Greek Orthodoxy, but it has faced closure and restrictions due to political and religious tensions with Turkey. Today, it remains a significant symbol of religious identity and cultural history for the Greek Orthodox community, although regular academic activities are limited.
