Lystra, Archaeological site in Meram, Turkey
The remains of Lystra include stone walls, ancient roads, and building foundations situated at an elevation of 1400 meters in central Anatolia.
During the Roman period, Lystra gained colony status in 6 BCE under the name Colonia Iulia Felix Gemina to control mountain tribes.
The ruins contain temples and inscriptions that demonstrate the influence of both Greco-Roman architecture and early Christian religious practices in Lycaonia.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through the modern village of Hatunsaray, located 30 kilometers south of Konya in central Turkey.
The hill known as Alusumas contains undiscovered sections of the ancient city, with structures built specifically for protection from regional threats.
