History
Anazarbos or Anazarbus was an ancient city of Cilicia; its extensive multi-period archaeological remains are located adjacent to the modern village of Dilekkaya in the Kozan district of Turkey's Adana province. Anazarbos became the capital of Cilicia Secunda in the later Roman empire. The city was rebuilt in 527 following an earthquake and destroyed by Mamluk forces in 1374.

The Barrington Atlas equates the ancient site with modern "Anavarza Kalesi" (i.e., the Byzantine/Armenian fortress atop the ancient acropolis), but in fact extensive remains of the city proper and associated extramural structures are extant in the surrounding area.
