Neapolis ( Ancient Greek: Νεάπολις) was a town in ancient Pisidia, a few miles south of Antioch. [1] [2] Pliny mentions it as a town of the Roman province of Galatia, which embraced a portion of Pisidia. [3] It became a bishopric; no longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains, under the name of Neapolis in Pisidia, a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. [4]
Its site is located near the modern Kıyakdede, Asiatic Turkey. [5] [6]
