The Community of Chalcedon has its seat on Yasa Caddesi in Kadıköy. The church of Saint Euphemia stands at the junction of Mühürdar Caddesi and Yasa Caddesi. The church was restored in 1694 under a permit obtained by the then Metropolitan of Chalcedon. In 1830 it was rebuilt in its present form with donations from Russia.
