Iconium (Roman Catholic titular see)

The city of Iconium in Lycaonia has been a Christian bishopric since the 1st century under the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. In 1662, a Roman Catholic titular archbishopric (Archidioecesis Iconiensis) was established, although the area had never actually been Catholic in profession.
