Abstract:

 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.

 Harala  Garella Kalesi, Doğu Trakyanın Edirne ilinde, Uzunköprünün 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 Kalesindeki kilise kalıntılarında bir grup metal nesnenin bulunduğu söyleniyor. Metal nesnelerin tamamı bakır alaşımlı bronz aydınlatma araçlarıdır ve şimdi Edirne Arkeoloji Müzesinde saklanmaktadır. Muhtemelen Orta Bizans döneminde piskoposluk kompleksi ile ilişkili daha büyük bir aydınlatma araç grubunun parçasıydılar.
