Destination

St. Paul Kuyusu

The well located in the courtyard of the place accepted as St. Paul's house in the area where old Tarsus houses are concentrated is known as St. Paul Well. In the excavations carried out in the garden of the house until recently, some walls were uncovered. Due to the importance of St. Paulus for Christianity, the fact that these remains and the well have been considered sacred since very ancient times is interpreted as traces of the belief of the Christian community that lived in the city until recently.
