Edirne Arkeoloji Müzesindeki Harala Kalesi’nden Kilise Aydınlatma Araçları

Harala / Garella Kalesi, Doğu Trakya'nın Edirne ilinde, Uzunköprü'nün 25 km güneybatısında, günümüz Altınyazı köyünde yer almaktadır. Kale, Roma ve Bizans dönemlerinde Plotinopolis / Pamphylon (Uzunköprü) topraklarındaydı. 1974 yılında, bir su kanalı inşaatı için yapılan çalışmalar sırasında, Harala Kalesi'ndeki kilise kalıntılarında bir grup metal nesnenin bulunduğu söyleniyor. Metal nesnelerin tamamı bakır alaşımlı (bronz) aydınlatma araçlarıdır ve şimdi Edirne Arkeoloji Müzesi'nde saklanmaktadır. Muhtemelen Orta Bizans döneminde piskoposluk kompleksi ile ilişkili daha büyük bir aydınlatma araç grubunun parçasıydılar.

Church Lighting Devices from Harala Fortress in the Edirne Archaeological Museum

Harala / Garella Fortress is located in the modern-day village of Altınyazı, 25 km southwest of Uzunköprü in the province of Edirne, Eastern Thrace. The Fortress was in the territory of Plotinopolis / Pamphylon (Uzunköprü) during the Roman and Byzantine periods. In 1974, during some work for the construction of a water channel, a group of metal objects are said to have been found in the church ruins of Harala Fortress. The metal objects are all copper alloy (bronze) lighting devices and are now stored in Edirne Archaeological Museum. They were probably part of a larger group of lighting devices associated with the episcopal complex during the MidByzantine period.
