Alahan Monastery
The Alahan Monastery, ''Koja Kalessi'',〔''Some Recent Finds at Alahan (Koja Kalessi)'', Michael Gough, Anatolian Studies, Vol. 5, (1955), 115. JSTOR〕 is a one-hour walking distance from the village of Geçimli, located in the province of Mersin, Turkey. The site is being considered to be put on the World Heritage list of sites who have "outstanding universal value" to the world.〔(World Heritage Center: The Criteria for Selection )〕
In 2012, Turkey's Ministry of Culture and Mersin Governorship started restoration work on the site because of its history and heritage.
On May 29, 2012 Greek Patriarch Bartholomew visited the monastery.
==History==
The Christian monastery at Alahan is located in the mountains of Isauria in Southern Asia Minor near Mut on the road between Karaman and Silifke. Residing at an altitude of 4,000ft, it stands 3,000 ft over the Calycadnus valley.〔 Construction started during the second half of the fifth century under Emperor Leo I and was finished by Emperor Zeno,〔''The Emperor Zeno and Some Cilician Churches'', Michael Gough, Anatolian Studies, Vol. 22, Special Number in Honour of the Seventieth Birthday of Professor Seton Lloyd (1972), 201.JSTOR〕 yet by the seventh century it was abandoned. Its remains include two churches, one (The East Church) is extremely well preserved, a baptistery, a colonnaded runway running the full length of the site, and a couple of subsidiary buildings, plus some old caves and graves. The complex may be funded by Emperor Zeno (474-491), who was from the region. The buildings stretches along the side of the mountain and covers an area of 30x200 meters. It is quite possible that the monastery official, and monks lived in the houses surrounding the complex. The monastery stands as the finest achievement of native Isaurian stonemasons and sculptors. Alahan is a key site in the history of early Byzantine architecture, half a century before the great achievements of Anicia Juliana and Justinian in Constantinople.〔(Alahan- An Early Christian Monastery in Southern Turkey ) Pictures: ()〕
