A sanctuary of the goddess Meter and her companion Attis, located at modern Kapıkaya in Turkey, 10km northwest of Pergamon. The earliest finds date to the third century BCE. Archaeological finds indicate that Mithras became the principal deity worshipped here in Roman times, down to at least the 4th century CE.
