Archaeological works are continuing to unearth Roman-era windmills in the ancient city of Misis, an important Roman-era city, as part of a project titled “The Infinite City: Misis” done by Yüreğir Municipality in the southern province of Adana.

The city is located right next to the Ceyhan River, 27 kilometers east of the center of Adana on the historic Silk Road. 

In collaboration with the head of the excavations, Professor Anna Lucia D’Agata of the National Research Council of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient Mediterranean, and Pisa University Professor Giovanni Salmeri, excavations have been continuing for four years in the 7,000-year-old Misis, which is one of 270 archaeological ancient sites in Adana.
