Ancyra (Catholic titular see)

The Archdiocese of Ancyra (Latin: Archidioecesis Ancyrana) is a suppressed titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[1][2] It was established in the 17th century as the Catholic counterpart to the Orthodox residential see, the Metropolis of Ancyra,[3][4] which existed until the early 20th century at Ankara, in Turkey. The see has been vacant since 24 May 1976.
