Tarsus, currently a part of Mersin Province, was an important Roman city in the first century.[1] The ruins of Saint Paul's house, as well as the still-serviceable well in the old quarters of Tarsus, were unearthed during a rescue excavation in 1999.[2] Restored old houses and the ancient road in Tarsus are located nearby.
The well, made of mostly rectangular-cut stone, measures 1.15 metres (3 ft 9 in) in diameter at the top and has a depth of 38 metres (125 ft).[3]
