Templon

An inscription belonging to an unspecified period before the 1071 Battle of Manzikert, known as the victory that led the Turks to first enter Anatolia, has been found in the Central Anatolian province of Konya, with the head of the excavation informing it's the "evidence of the Turkish presence in the 10th century."

"Templon: Sacred Figures, Invisible Gates of Faith," on display at the Museum of Byzantine Culture, showcases 97 20th century and contemporary church screens, which beyond being intricate works of art also separate the mortal world of the nave from the heavenly world of the sanctuary. Some of these pieces are on public display for the first time. Opening hours are daily 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
