Wikipedia Description
Castabala (Greek: Καστάβαλα), also known as Hieropolis and Hierapolis (Greek: Ίεράπολις) was a city in Cilicia (modern southern Turkey), near the Ceyhan River (ancient Pyramus). The Turkish town of Kırmıtlı, in the Osmaniye district of Osmaniye Province, sits atop the ruins of the ancient city. The ruins were first identified from inscriptions in March 1890 by the British explorer J. Theodore Bent.[1] More on Wikipedia
