Özet

The ‘Cupola Church’, located in Hagia Thekla Archaeological Site near ancient Seleukeia in Cilicia, has been revisited with the help of recent developments in documentation technologies to clarify the contradictions created by the differences in former restitution plans based on several field surveys in the last century. In addition to the building itself, its surroundings and nearby structures are also documented in order to reveal functional relations. As a result, it has been possible to revise the previous restitution proposals under the light of new findings related to surrounding wall remains, forecourt, Southern side chamber and vaulted substructures.
