The place

Moutalaske was a town of ancient Cappadocia, inhabited in Byzantine times. It was the birthplace of both Saint Sabas (439) and Saint Meletios. The former, during a visit to emperor Anastasios I in Constantinople, sent money back to his home village in Moutalaske to fund the construction of a church dedicated to the Saints Cosmas and Damian.
