Rural Roman settlement. An altar dedicated to J.O.M. Dolichenus and an inscription in honor of Julian the Apostate have been discovered. Limited archaeological explorations have identified the remains of several Roman buildings and an aqueduct. A martyrium for the relics of the martyrs Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, and Philippos (4th-5th c.) have been uncovered under the ruins of a basilica.
