The ancient city of Demre
The ancient city of Demre in Turkey was one of the major port cities of Lycia. The development of the city and popularization begins with the entry into the territory of the Roman Empire. During these years, Demre developed in the field of trade and was one of the leading trading and port cities of the Roman Empire. Over time, Demre strengthened its prestige and reputation, and then even became one of the most important administrative and religious centers during the Byzantine Empire. And during the service of Bishop St. Nicholas here, the city turned into one of the most important centers for the spread of Christian pilgrimage. The Byzantine church built here served the locals for many years to worship God and had a positive impact on the local population. In the same city, the well-known preacher Saint Nicholas, who was one of the first bishops and important personalities in the spread of Christianity, was later buried.
