Sulusaray

Sulusaray occupies the site of ancient Sebastopolis in the Çekerek valley. The city flourished in Roman and Byzantine times, leaving remains of walls, baths and a mosaic-floored church. Warm springs nearby supplied its baths and gave the later settlement its Turkish name. After the Byzantine period it passed through Danishmendid, Seljuk and Ottoman rule, while the old city's stones remained among the fields and houses of the valley.
