Anemurium – Anamur, Mersin

Anemurium – Anamur, Mersin

Anemurium lies on the rugged cape near modern Anamur, controlling the southeastern corner of Cilicia/Isauria. The city flourished in Roman and Early Byzantine times, evidenced by its extensive necropolis with barrel-vaulted tomb houses, theater, odeon, baths, fortress, and late antique churches with mosaics. Proximity to Cyprus and maritime routes made Anemurium a key coastal hub until earthquakes and Arab raids in the 7th–8th centuries.
