    According to legend, St. Thekla, originally a noble virgin from Iconium, spent the rest of her life here in a cave after her conversion by the apostle Paul and prolonged persecution in the 1st century AD and is also buried here. In the 2nd century a first church was built over this cave and its shrine.

    Be sure to go to the lower church!!!
