George Evart Bean and Terence Bruce Mitford marked the location of today's Kalınören village as TITIOPOLIS on the maps showing the ancient sites in Western Cilicia, which they prepared as a result of their investigations in Cilicia between 1964 and 1968. There are ruins of Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods in the ruins. Titiopolis was a site not connected to Anemurium in ancient times. Buildings such as the bouleuterion, ninfeum, odeon, and theater that are not seen today in the ancient city probably remained under the village settlement. The city walls, which regularly encircle the city, are made of roughly hewn multi-corner stones of various sizes. The hard gray stone twisted column in the gardens to the left of the village entrance must belong to a very important building. It is not even understood what the functions of the mosaic-based spaces in the gardens are. The first bathhouse that comes before us as we climb up the hills is probably a gymnasium structure. To the west of the bath is a basilica with three naves with prominent narthex. There are syntronone steps in the structure. There are diaconion rooms to the right and left of the apse. These rooms show the type of multi-purpose basilica supported by a porch behind the apse. In the north of the village settlement, the presence of a basilica, bath and necropolis within the acropolis ruins surrounded by walls indicates that this place was handled in a way to meet the needs of a city. The western and eastern basilicas in the upper city have been completely destroyed. The floors of the buildings are decorated with gray and white mosaics, with geobit. To the east of the religious buildings is the necropolis area with magnificent tombs. The two-storey vaulted tombs made of cut stone here are the monumental tombs of a few privileged people. On the façade of the sarcophage, the covers of which were carved into a rectangular form from gray hard stone in templum in antis style, on the eastern slope of the acropolis; eagle figure with spread wings, bukranion and medusa heads carrying garlands on the sides. Right next to this sarcophagus, the male figure sitting on the coffee table holding a staff on the front face is engraved on the front of the sarcophagus. One of the interesting structures in Kalınören is the vaulted tylos-type bath with three separate rooms located at the northern end of the acropolis. The water requirement of the bath is 20 m. provided from the next ninfeum. Source: Archive of Mersin Provincial Culture and Tourism Directorate
