An archaeological excavation in Turkey recently yielded a Roman hospital-turned-Christian sanctuary, offering new insight into centuries of ancient history.<\/a><\/p>\n

Anadolu Agency (AA), a state-run outlet in Ankara, reported the discovery on Oct. 8.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ruins were found in the ancient city of Kaunos, in southwestern Turkey’s Mu\u011fla Province. They were inside a monastery area within the city’s walls.<\/p>\n

ANCIENT ROMAN APARTMENT BUILDING FOUND BENEATH PUBLIC SQUARE AMID SUBWAY CONSTRUCTION<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The site has attracted tourists for years due to its rock-cut Lycian tombs,<\/a> ancient mosaics and 5,000-seat theater, earning it a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List.<\/p>\n

Now, however, archaeologists are adding a 3rd-century Roman hospital to the site’s many offers. The building was used as a military garrison hospital during the Roman era.<\/p>\n

It was only recently uncovered, though archaeologists have been digging at the Late Antiquity complex since 2022.<\/p>\n

Excavation leader Ufuk \u00c7\u00f6rt\u00fck also told AA that previous excavations yielded “instruments used particularly in the field of medicine.”<\/p>\n

“This year, we noticed an increase in the number of such medical tools<\/a>,” the professor said.<\/p>\n

“Based on the materials recovered, we can say that the first phase of this complex \u2014 dating to the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D. \u2014 functioned as a health center or hospital.”<\/p>\n

\u00c7\u00f6rt\u00fck said the hospital also eventually served the public and not just soldiers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the Christianization period<\/a>, the structure was turned into a church, which surprised excavators.<\/p>\n

“There was a structure on the upper terrace of the complex \u2014 we fully uncovered it this year, and a beautifully preserved church emerged,” said \u00c7\u00f6rt\u00fck.<\/p>\n

\u00c7\u00f6rt\u00fck estimated the hospital was converted into a religious complex during the 6th century A.D.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s intact in every respect,” the archaeologist said.<\/p>\n

“With this church, it\u2019s now clear that the hospital of the 3rd century was converted into a religious center during the Christian era, dated to the 6th century A.D.”<\/p>\n

It was also used during the Turkish period, as excavators found a coin from Aydinid Principality, which ruled between the 13th and 14th centuries.<\/p>\n

The find marks one of many major archaeological discoveries in Asia Minor in recent months.<\/p>\n

In Troy, officials recently unveiled a gold brooch<\/a> and a rare jade stone in Troy, offering a glimpse into the city’s pre-Greek past.<\/p>\n

In Olympus this summer, archaeologists found a fifth-century Christian church<\/a> with a message reading, “Only those on the righteous path may enter here.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
