Lystra (Ancient Greek: Λύστρα) was a city in central Anatolia, now part of present-day Turkey. It is mentioned six times in the New Testament.[1] Lystra was visited several times by Paul the Apostle, along with Barnabas or Silas. There Paul met a young disciple, Timothy.[2] Lystra was included by various authors in ancient Lycaonia, Isauria, or Galatia.[3][4]
