Anavarza Archaeological Sitevisitor guide.

Anavarza is an ancient city located in the Cilicia region within Kozan district boundaries, where Kadirli, Ceyhan, and Kozan districts intersect. An eminent center of the Cilician plain, Anavarza is cited in ancient sources as Anazarbos, Anazarba, Aynızarba, or Anazarbus. Located approximately 70 km northeast of Adana within Dilekkaya village boundaries, virtually nothing is known regarding its history prior to the Roman Imperial Era. Visited in 19 BC by Emperor Augustus, the city became known as 'Anazarbus Caesarea'. While surviving architectural ruins belong to Roman and Byzantine eras, archaeological excavations continue under the direction of Adana Museum.
