From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conana or Konana (Ancient Greek: Κόνανα) was an inland town of ancient Pisidia inhabited during Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine times.[1] The town may also have been called Justinianopolis or Ioustinianoupolis (Ἰουστινιανούπολις).[1] The town was a bishopric in early days of Christianity; no longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[2]

Its site is located near Gönen, in Asiatic Turkey.[1][3]
