This vintage postcard features a color image of the historic House of the Virgin Mary near Ephesus, Turkey. The stone building, surrounded by leafless trees and set against a bright blue sky, reflects the serene and spiritual atmosphere of this important religious site. The site is believed to be the last home of the Virgin Mary and gained prominence after Pope Paul VI's visit in 1967, as noted on the card.

Printed by Ticaret Matbaacilik in Izmir, Turkey, this original postcard includes multilingual text in English, French, and German explaining the significance of the location. The back shows handwritten correspondence dated 1973 with a US Eisenhower 8-cent stamp, adding historical context and collectible value. Measuring the classic continental size of 6 x 4 inches, this postcard is a wonderful piece for collectors of religious landmarks, Turkish history, or vintage travel memorabilia.
