Mazılık is
a late antique / Byzantine town with at least one partially preserved
basilica. Columns with simple capitals
divided the two-storey nave and apse from the aisles and flanking
apsidioles. A carefully built entrance
leads below the church into a network of caves, which may have functioned as a
mausoleum. This site is located on a
southern route into Cilicia Pedias near the eastern edge of the Vale of
Karsantı and was occupied in the medieval period.
