Kilistra Ancient City

Kilistra Ancient City, located in the rugged hills around Konya, was a Byzantine era troglodytic settlement which cut into softer rock known as tufa.

It has been dubbed the “Cappadocia of Konya” due to its geological resemblance.

It has rock-cut churches, homes, tombs and even secret passageways used by early Christians.

Chambers and paintings uncovered showcase a life molded by a deep faith and hardship.

Kilistra is a place of quiet reflection revealing the spiritually rich and turbulent landscape of Anatolia, where nature’s stone and timeless silence whisper tales of fierce faith and survival long gone.
