Özet

Ayatekla (Meryemlik), a well-known pilgrimage centre of Early Christianity dedicated to St. Thecla, is situated on the slope of a hill overlooking the Mediterranean, South of Silifke (Seleucia ad Calycadnum). Documentation works that have been carried out on the site in recent years by using various techniques allowing new observations and the settlement layout are the topics of the paper. To investigate the known and yet not defined architectural remains, terraces, insulae, routes and all other components of Ayatekla and their connections based on new data, thus seeking some evidence about the life practice in the sanctuary is intended.
