3C 215 is a Seyfert galaxy/Quasar located in the constellation Cancer.[1][2][3] This is a radio-loud quasar with a jet,[4] hosted in an elliptical galaxy and located inside a galaxy cluster. This object also shows signs of interaction with neighboring galaxy.[5]

3C 215 is also known to have a complex structure. Based on radio imaging, its inner region contains bright emission knots.[6]
