Lystra (Λύστρα) is an ancient city in southwestern Lycaonia, known from biblical accounts. It was located ca 33 km southwest of Iconium, in the region of Lycaonia. Lystra was discovered in 1885, when John Robert Sitlington Sterrett unearthed a stone altar with a Latin inscription on a hill north of the Turkish village of Hatun Sara1i  (Lusna in the Hittite period?).This location was confirmed by later numismatic finds.

Emperor Augustus founded here in 9 BC the Colonia Iulia Felix Gemina Lystra, a military base.

Lystra-Zoldura Höyük (Hatunsaray II)

A small museum within the village of Hatunsaray displays artifacts from ancient Lystra.
