Nasala

Nasala was an Ancient city and bishopric in Roman Mesopotamia and remains a Latin Catholic titular see.

Its present location in Asian Turkey is unclear.

History

Nasala was important enough in the Late Roman province of Mesopotamia Secunda to become a suffragan of its Metropolitan Archbishopric (Dara(s), replaced in the 19th century by Rhesaina), but would fade.

Titular see

It was nominally restored in 1933 as a Latin Catholic titular bishopric, but remains without incumbent.
