Church of Cambazlı

The church structure measures 29 meters in length and 22 meters in width, featuring three distinct corridors within its architectural layout.

Built during the fifth century Byzantine period, the church connected important centers like Corycus and Diocaesarea through ancient Roman roads.

The remains of this religious structure include intact columns with Corinthian capitals, demonstrating the architectural techniques of early Christian builders.

Located 29 kilometers from Silifke, the church site offers free entry and receives one daily minibus service from the nearby town.
