Hasanaliler is a small village located on the ancient road starting from Narlikuyu and running to the north via Cennet-Cehennem to Ovacik / Imamli in the region of Rough Cilicia. This small settlement had been inhabited from Roman until early Byzantine period. The church of Hasanaliler is situated in the center of the site. The north-eastern side of the church constructed over a cave and the building slopes down to the north. The lower sections of the southern wall of the church and the eastern wall of the narthex were carved from the bedrock. The church has a nathex on the western side with an entrance on the northern wall and consists of three aisles divided by two rows of piers, each row containing six. Today, the southern row of piers still stands but the northern row completely disappeared. The Church of Hasanaliler is a representative of the basilical plan type. In spite of the fact that three-aisled and colonnaded basilical plan type is common in the churches of Cilicia and Isauria, there are a certain number of piered-basilicas, such as the ones in Hasanaliler, imamli and Kizilaliler.
