St. Paul was already there on his first missionary journey - at that time the place was called Iconion. Acts tells how Paul was driven out of Iconion and found Timotheos in Lystra, whom he then took with him (see Acts 14 and Acts 16: 1-3). Two letters still in the Bible were written by Paul to Timotheos. Catholic Church of St. Paul - History In the center of the modern city of Konya, directly on the hill on which the ancient Iconium was located stands the Church of St. Paul, built in 1910 by the Sultan for the numerous Catholic workers on the Anatolian Railway and until 1936 by the Assumptionists cared for. When almost all Christians had left Konya, the Assumptionists went to Ankara and came to Konya once a month until the year 2000. The church was expropriated in between and was to become a gymnasium. A Greek Orthodox citizen in a rich position quickly obtained the return to the Assumptionists. An Armenian family provided janitorial and sacristan services for two generations. In the 80s, Capuchin Father Vincenzo ofm cap built today's small rectory in view of the planned use of the Little Sisters of Jesus from 1985, which lasted until 1995. Thereafter, Sr. Isabella and Sr. Serena of the Secular Institute "Gesü Risorto" (the Risen One) took over the ministry. Their community emerged after the Second World War in Trento and see their service in Konya as a token of thanks: three monks from Cappadocia had proclaimed the faith in the mountains in the fourth century around Trent and were then martyrs. Approximately with their arrival, the number of pilgrimages to today's Turkey, the Holy Land of early Christianity, increased. In the Pauline year 2008/2009 every day came a group of pilgrims with priests, sometimes four, in the Easter time six. Tourist buses for a short visit came even more often, often sixteen in a day. For two years (with the assassination of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul 2015) the group visits stopped.

Harika bir mekan gereği gibi önem verilmeyen bir yer gezilmeye değer burası zaten İncil'de geçmektedir Aziz pavlus'un buraya misyonerlik için tebliğ için geldiği söylenir. Bir zamanlar Burası Hristiyanlar Merkezi sembolik yerleri de Ancak şu anda Günümüzde çok da gereği gibi ilgi gösterilmeyen yerler

Kilistra,tarihi çok eskilere dayanan bir yer olmasına rağmen hiç kıymeti bilinmemiş.ilk dönem hristiyanların yaşadıkları veya gizlendikleri bir yer galiba.galiba diyorum çünkü hiç bilgilendirici bir levha,açıklama yok.biraz içerlere gittiğinizde akarsu olan yer var.konaklayıp küçük bir piknik yapabilirsiniz
