It is mentioned six times in the New Testament. Lystra was visited several times by Paul the Apostle, together with Barnabas or Silas. There Paul met a young disciple, Timothy. Lystra was taken up by various authors in ancient Lycaonia, Isauria or Galatia.

Lystra is the old name of the village that Paul the Apostle visited. Near Gökyurt, a village in Meram District in Konya Province, there is today's village called "Kilistra". Ancient ruins can be seen near Klistra, including a church with a large cross on the wall, a winery, house-like buildings, and the ruins of a hilltop town locally called "Alusumas" which is another church ruin. According to locals, the less visible city was built over the hill to hide from the enemies of ancient Anatolia. This site is still waiting to be excavated.
