I Roman Emperor in MS 325. With the call of Constantos, the council collected in Nikaia was aimed to bring together piskopos from different regions on a common language of faith. In the center of the discussion there were views of Jesus and Arius; at the end of the meeting, the text formed the basis of the Isonic Amentus was accepted.
It’s not easy to fix this event in one structure in the city. Conciline is transferred to the empire palace, but the exact location of the palace and the relationship with archaeological residues on the lake coast. Therefore, instead of finding the 'concilin hall' of the trip, Nikaia's walls are more healthy to establish the city scale and the next Christianity heritage together.
Why Is Cons?
Nikaia was conducive to Constantinople, safe structure surrounded by walls and a large meeting with its location on the empire transportation network. The palace, public structure and accommodation capacity of the city was able to meet hundreds of participants.
The meeting was not only a controversial discussion. The search for common calendar and unity in the empire was also on the agenda. The topics such as calculating the history of Easter show how their faith decisions extend to everyday life and corporate life.
What Tells the İznik Ament?
The statement of faith accepted in the conclusion presented a common formula that defines the relationship between Father and Son. The text was then expanded in 381 Constantinople Concili; the format used in different Christian traditions today is the result of this long development.
The place of Iznik on the world is caused by a joint text of representatives from different geographies, except for the fact that a meeting is realized. The name of the city is therefore maintained to live in the history of teology, diplomacy and culture for centuries.
Blend Hagia Sophia and 787 Cons
İznik Hagia Sophia is directly associated with the Second İznik Concili in 787. 325 meeting can not be said in the same structure; there are about four and a half century between two councils and the problems they are different.
Read the building layers and 787 context while visiting Hagia Sophia; evaluate the city plan, the research on the walls and lake coast as a wider history view. So you can watch two important events in the same city without mixing.
before setting off
- ◆Respect the order of worship in the areas of faith.

Half-Day Faith Heritage Route
From the morning Istanbul Gate to the city and walk to Hagia Sophia; then expand the era with old church traces and museum collections inside the sur. After lunch, read what archeological research reveals in the field of basilika cruise.
Take the research hypothesis with exact information instead of turning the route into a proof hunting. The main power of İznik is that early Christian history can show the Roman city plan, Byzantine defense and the same walk with the next Ottoman layers.
