Alasehir, Turkey. Fourth century chapels are found in the region of Turkey, once known as "Philadelphia," and was once one of the seven churches of Asia minor. Several cities in Turkey are being cultivated so that they may be visited for each of their rich Christian traditions.
Up until this point, faith tourism was solely limited to Muslim shrines, even though several Christian shrines have existed in these towns for thousands of years.
In the ancient city of Laodicea, Turkish archaeologists have unearthed a spectacular church dating to the early fourth century. This church, with 10 towering pillars and covering an area of 2,000 square meters, also has flawlessly preserved mosaic flooring with a walk-in baptismal fountain for mass christenings.
