Ecclesiastical history
Lunda was a suffragan bishopric of the Metropolitan Archbishopric of Laodicea (on the Lycus), under the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
Two incumbents are known:
- Niceforus attended the Second Council of Nicaea in 787
- Eustachius participated in the Council of Constantinople in 879-880.
The diocese was nominally restored in 1926 as the Roman Catholic titular bishopric of Lunda.
