Ruins of a church were unearthed during excavations in Labranda ancient city in southwestern Turkey, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported on Wednesday.
Archeologist Nilgun Senturk from Museum of Anatolian Civilizations was quoted as announcing that "We have unearthed ruins of a church during excavations. We will focus our works on this new church."
He said that the excavations in this site in Kargicak village in Milas town of Mugla province were of great importance for Turkey.
Labranda, connected by a paved sacred way to Milas, 11 km to the south, was the site of the great Carian sanctuary of Zeus Labranda.
The site is located in the mountains and was established by at least the 5th century B.C.
