Sille is a former village, now a neighborhood of Konya, known for its remarkable rock-cut churches carved into the hillsides. Visitors can wander cobblestone streets lined with restored Ottoman-era stone houses, explore the 4th-century Aya Elenia Church with its frescoes, and see the nearby Sille Dam. The area offers a quiet contrast to Konya's urban center, blending Byzantine Christian heritage with Turkish village life.
