Archalla

Archalla (Greek: Άρχαλλα) was a town of ancient Cappadocia, inhabited during Roman times.^[1]

Its site is tentatively located near Erkilet(Under Kocasinan), Asiatic Turkey.^[1]^[2] Although only attested in ancient times, it was presumably inhabited continuously through Byzantine times and into the present day, since its name is preserved in the current name Erkilet.^[3] The façade of the extant Mehmed Paşa Camii mosque in Erkilet is built partly using ancient remains as spolia.^[3]
