The Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity ( Greek Αγία Τριάδα , Turkish Aya Triada Rum Ortodoks Kilisesi ) was a building complex in the İlkadım district of the Turkish Black Sea city of Samsun , which was built during the Ottoman era. She was subordinate to the Patriarch of Constantinople (now Istanbul ).

After the population exchange between the Kingdom of Greece and Turkey under Mustafa Kemal Pascha , the number of parishioners of the Agia Triada Church fell rapidly. Under the Vali of Samsun , Kâzım İnanç , the dome of the church was removed from 1925 to 1931 and the church was used as a Kâzım Pascha cinema. Today the 23 Nisan Ortaokulu Middle School is on the site of the church . The İbrahim Tanrıverdi Sosyal Bilimler Lisesi grammar school is located on the site of the school, which is part of the church complex, and part of the secondary school and the Anatolian grammar school Nâmık Kemâl Anadolu Lisesi are located on the site of the former college .
