Ancient town Coela was founded in the Roman period. It was a bishopric seat depending on Heracleia in antiquity, and is now a Latin Catholic titular see. Ancient Coela is located in the western part of Gallipoli Peninusla, the southern part of the Thracian Chersonese, 5 km east of Eceabat. The remains of the Justinian fortification are still visible.
