Kilistra Ancient City

Kilistra Ancient City from the Byzantine and Roman periods represents a unique archaeological structure on the territory of Konya Province in Turkey. Well-preserved rock-cut buildings of local soft tufa rock such as dwelling houses, churches, and tombs rise in the place.

 In many of its features, Kilistra represents a prototype for the early Christian pursuits in Anatolia in relation to the leading-up to the formation of towns. These mainstay cave homes, not to mention sacred locations, are open to visitors, giving insight into how architecture was and the lifestyle of the local people long time ago.
