    The Binbir Church structures of Karadağ, which has been home to many civilizations for centuries, is the region where the early Christian period structures are located in Karaman. It is seen that there are more than a hundred churches, monasteries and tombs in the region. It is said to be the episcopacy center of the period. The Thousand and One Churches, which are in ruins today, are a place where Christian pilgrims from Europe to Jerusalem visited and visited the saints here, and is among the three most important centers of late antiquity. Emphasizing that the religious and military structures here are extremely important in terms of Anatolian culture, Dr. Instructor Member İlker Mete Mimiroğlu stated that there are pyramid-shaped mausoleums belonging to two saints, and that the ruins of Madenşehri, Üçkuyu and Değle in the region, dozens of churches, monasteries and tombs built between the 4th and 9th centuries, and that it contains a very rich cultural heritage in terms of faith tourism. The earliest information was the engravings of Laborde in the middle of the 19th century. Many of these structures appear to be intact. Scientists were discussing why there was so much damage. When the photographs of Binbir Church taken in 1880 came to our hands, the buildings are solid, according to these photographs in England. However, in the photographs dated 1905, it is determined that many buildings have been demolished. The buildings in Binbir Church were largely destroyed in the earthquake between 1880 and 1905. There is no case of damage by human hands, the buildings were destroyed by the effect of natural events. We come across new developments in archival studies.
