Archaeologists found a 3rd-century Roman hospital in Turkey, later turned into a Christian sanctuary.
Archaeologists in Turkey have uncovered a 3rd-century Roman hospital in Kaunos, Muğla Province, which was later converted into a Christian sanctuary by the 6th century.
Excavations since 2022, led by Ufuk Çörtük, revealed medical tools and structural changes indicating use for military and public care, followed by religious adaptation.
The site, part of a larger complex near UNESCO-listed ruins, also saw later use during the Aydinid period.
The discovery sheds light on medical practices and religious shifts in the late Roman Empire.
