O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Proizvodnja vune je u antičko doba učinila ovaj grad izuzetno bogatim, a lokalne ovce su bile cijenjene zbog svoje tamno ljubičasto-crne vune. Ogroman zemljotres je sravnio grad u 7. vijeku, ostavljajući njegove ruševine zakopane pod 10 metara aluvijalnog nanosa.
Istaknuto: Za razliku od svojih blistavijih susjeda Hierapolisa i Laodiceje, ovo nalazište ostaje gotovo potpuno neiskopano, što znači da cijeli rimski grad leži uspavan ispod poljoprivrednih polja. Hodajući preko travnatog brežuljka, doslovno možete osjetiti konture ulica i zgrada odmah pod vašim nogama, netaknute od strane arheologa više od 1.300 godina.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear sturdy walking shoes, the uneven terrain of the unexcavated tell (mound) is covered with loose stones and animal burrows.
- Visit after rain when the wet earth reveals pottery shards and tile fragments pushed to the surface, but never remove any artifacts.
- Stop at the Denizli Archaeology Museum afterward to see the few artifacts recovered from here, including coins and inscriptions.
- Bring binoculars to spot the faint outlines of the ancient theater and city walls visible in the contours of the wheat fields.
