Yalvaç

Yalvaç lies at the southern foot of the Sultan Mountains, near the ruins of Antioch in Pisidia. Founded under the Seleucids, Antioch became a Roman colony and an early centre of Christianity. The apostle Paul preached there, and a large church later rose on the site associated with his visit. Columns, streets and fragments of stonework preserve traces of the ancient city beside the later Turkish settlement.
