Its story
Hadrianopolis is an ancient city in the ancient region of Paphlagonia, near the village of Çaylı in Eskipazar, which has not yet been fully brought to light. It is about 3 km from central Eskipazar. Excavations have uncovered churches, walls, cisterns, rock tombs, a Roman bath and cellars. The church whose floor is decorated with mosaics of animal and bird figures is the city's most impressive find; part of the site has been roofed over to protect the mosaics. The mention in sources of a mint striking coins in the city's name and the many coins found show that Hadrianopolis was a developed center in its time.
