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]
