Lunda or Lounda is a former Ancient Roman city and bishopric and present Latin Catholic titular see in Asia Minor (Anatolia, Asian Turkey).

History[]

The Ancient city in the Roman province of Phrygia Prima (Pacatiana), in the civil Diocese of Pontus, was important enough to become a suffragan bishopric of the Metropolitan Archbishopric of Laodicea (on the Lycus), in the sway of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.

Two incumbents were recorded :

• Niceforus attended the Second Council of Nicaea in 787
• Eustachius participated in the Council of Constantinople in 879-880 which rehabilitated its Patriarch Photius I of Constantinople.

It faded; the Anatolian site is now known as Isabey.

Titular see[]
