Honer Nazhat, Trip to Soli Pompeiopolis, Mersin - Turkey
Excavations started in the ancient city of Soli Pompeipolis, located in the southern province of Mersin’s Mezitli district.
The work will focus on uncovering the rest of a Roman-era street lined with columns.
Dokuz Eylül University Head of Museum Department Professor Remzi Yağcı said the first excavations in Soli Pompeipolis were initiated by Mersin University Archaeology Department in 1999, with much significant data obtained since then.
A very active harbor in the past
During excavation, the ancient city was found to be a very active harbor in the 1st B.C. and 1st A.D., said Yağcı, adding the work in 2013 unearthed the columned street and Roman stores in an architectural order. He said that with a team of 80 people, including archaeologists, architects and students, they would start two-month excavations next week. Yağcı said the team will work on the restoration of the columned street area and the Roman shops, with most of the team working to uncover the columned street.
“Our goal is to reach the continuation of the street. We will see if restoration can be done in the newly excavated areas.
Soli, a gate to the world
Mezitli Mayor Neşet Tarhan said the district was home to rich archaeological findings, as Soli Pompeiopolis was an important ancient harbor city.
“All of the Pompeiopolis columns have not been unearthed yet. This place was damaged during a large earthquake but almost 40 percent of the columns still survive,” he said, adding that the city would continue to support archaeological works.
“Soli Pompeiopolis is Mezitli’s gate to the world.

Honer Nazhat, Trip to Silifke Castle, Mersin - Turkey
Silifke Kalesi (Castle)
Geography
The castle is in Silifke district of Mersin Province. It is situated to
the west of Silifke city center, to the south of Göksu River.
Although its altitude is only 160 m with respect to sea level, it is
dominant over Silifke plains and the southern section of Göksu
valley.
History
Silifke was an important city in antiquity. Few traces of the 3rd-
century-B.C. settlement survive. There are fragments of a late
Roman theater, necropolis, bath, 2nd-century temple, as well as a
5th-century Byzantines cistern. The 1st-century-A.D. stone bridge
built during the reign of Emperor Vespasian was replaced in the
1870s.
In the late 7th century, to counter Arab invasions, the Byzantines
fortified the acropolis, which is situated above the Calycadnus
River. The site had a weapons factory and was the administrative
center for the coastal theme. In the late-1180s the Rubenid Baron
Leo II, who became a decade later Leo I, King of Armenian Cilicia,
captured the town and fortress. On route to the Third
CrusadeFrederick I, Holy Roman Emperor camped here in 1190,
but unfortunately drowned in the river.
In exchange for money and cavalry support King Leo granted the
castle in 1210 to the Knights Hospitaller who were to defend the
western border of his kingdom from the Seljuk Turks. According
to a survey published in 1987, most of the present castle is a
Crusader construction.
On the death of King Leo in 1219 his daughter and designated
heiress Zapēl, (also known as Isabella, Queen of Armenian
Cilicia), was contracted to marry Philip, the son of Bohemond IV of
Antioch. After various disputes with the Armenian barons Philip
died by poison in 1226. Zapēl and her mother took refuge in
Silifke.
When the Armenian army arrived, the Franks surrendered the
castle. A fragmentary Armenian inscription in the castle may
record its repair or enlargement in 1236. In 1248 the castle may
have briefly had a Frankish commander, named Guiscard.
Details
The castle has an oval-shaped plan. The length from west to east
is about 250 m and the width is about 75 m It is surrounded by a
dry moat. According to the 17th-century Turkish traveler, Evliya
Çelebi, there were 23 towers, 60 houses and a mosque in the
castle. Presently, 10 towers survive, many of which have surviving
vaulted ceilings. An equal number of finely crafted under-crofts
are preserved, some with pointed vaults. Most of the exterior
facing stones consist of well-drafted ashlar blocks.
