Archalla (Greek:Άρχαλλα) was a town ofancient Cappadocia, inhabited duringRoman times.[1]
Its site is tentatively located nearErkilet(UnderKocasinan),Asiatic Turkey.[1][2] Although only attested in ancient times, it was presumably inhabited continuously through Byzantine times and into the present day, since its name is preserved in the current name Erkilet.[3] The façade of the extant Mehmed Paşa Camii mosque in Erkilet is built partly using ancient remains asspolia.[3]
