This is a variation on a theme of Francesca's "Who am I?" thread. The rules are the same, only in this case it would probably be best if we asked one question at a time :).

I'll start:


Its history goes back more than one thousand years.

Ba-ding!!! We're getting closer. Yes, it's in Asia Minor, specifically Turkey. Nice one, Breit!

guess for Breit: Istanbul or Constantinople
guess for Luc: Mount Ararat or that misplaced ark thing. (i am NOT going through all those boxes looking for it, you're on your own for that one.) L

Not Troy - though that probably comes closest, in that it's a tourist site in Turkey that used to be a city and isn't any more.

Not Istanbul/Constantinople. Don't think Mount Ararat counts as a city ruin, though I've not been there so I don't know what there is to look at.

No, I'm not going through all those boxes either. :)

Hint: the building that was particularly famous was on a list...

Is it Göreme?

No, not Göreme. (Though that's a wonderful place!)

It's definitely somewhere that's no longer inhabited - tourists visit the site of where it was. There's a modern town on a different site nearby, but no longer anywhere with this name.

My husband visited it years (or rather decades) ago and he still talks about it :).

Could it be Pergamon?

Not Pergamon, though it's very much that sort of place. Pergamon's further north.

It also features in the New Testament.
