The numerous ruins at Canbazlı indicate that there must have been an important settlement here in Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine times. Canbazlı, or Cambazlı, is today a village on a 1100 m high plateau. From Kizkalesi, 20 km inland, the today asphalted road partly follows the old Roman road from Korykos (Kizkalesi) to Ura (Olba) and Diokaisareia (Uzuncaburç).

The original name of the settlement is unknown, but was probably an important place in early Byzantine times. In addition to rock tombs and sarcophagi, six mausoleums and temple tombs can still be seen today. On the southern edge of the village stands the well-preserved ruin of the so-called Great Church, a three-nave gallery basilica from the second half of the 5th century A.D. The church is surrounded by a wall for which - clearly visible - Roman spoilers were used.
