Martyria in Asia Minor, (Architecture) |
|
|
A martyrium is a shrine or building built over the grave or place of martyrdom of a martyr in the Christian religion. Specifically in Asia Minor there are quite a number of cities with monuments and sites associated with figures close to Christ. However, most of these centres of pilgrimage were more or less exclusively of regional relevance and interest, and were mainly frequented by the local inhabitants. |
