Konya- In 327 AD, Helena, mother of the Byzantine Emperor Constantin, stopped by Konya
on her way to Jerusalem for pilgrimage, saw the carved temples of the first
Christian ages there, and decided to build a temple for Christians in Sille, in
Konya's Selçuklu district, 15 km from Konya. The Aya-Elena Church has been repaired
for centuries and has come to this day.
