Palaeopolis (or Palæopolis) in Pamphylia was an Ancient city and bishopric in Asia Minor (now Asian Turkey), and is now a Catholic episcopal titular see.
History
Palæopolis, at the site of modern Akören (the one in Adana Province's Aladağ district?), was important enough in the Roman province of Pamphylia Secunda to become a suffragan bishopric of the capital Perge's Metropolitan Archbishop.
Titular see
The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as a titular bishopric of the lowest (episcopal) rank.
It is vacant, having had a single, Eastern Catholic incumbent:
- Titular Bishop Ioan Dragomir (1949 – 1985.04.25), as Auxiliary Bishop of Maramureş of the Romanians (Romania) (1949 – 1964), later succeeding as Apostolic Administrator of the same Maramureş of the Romanians (Romanian language Byzantine Rite) (1964 – 1985.04.25)
