In the 4th century AD, the Christian faith was recognized as an official faith by Emperor Constantine. Freed from the suppression of their religion, the Christians built numerous places of worship in the years that followed - quite a few were named after the apostle "Saint Paul". Of the many churches that the Christian community built in Tarsus, only one survives today.

After a major generalization of the church in 1862, the building was rebuilt and got its present structural shape. After the departure of the Christian community from Tarsus in 1926, the church was abandoned, rebuilt and used for other purposes. In 1994, the building was registered as a church according to its original dedication and placed under monument protection. Today it houses a museum, which has led to disagreements with the Catholic Church. The Turkish Bishops' Conference demands a permanent opening of the house for the holding of Christian services.
