Ancient city in Lycaonia
Ilistra (Ancient Greek: Ἴλιστρα) was a town of ancient Lycaonia, inhabited in Roman and Byzantine times.[1] It was on the road from Laranda to Isaura, which is still in existence.[2] Ilistra became a seat of a bishop; no longer a residential bishopric, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[3]
Its site is located near Yollarbaşı, Asiatic Turkey.[1][4]
