Om
Raske fakta: Ullproduksjon gjorde denne byen enormt rik i oldtiden, med lokale sauer kjent for sin dype purpursvarte ull. Et massivt jordskjelv jevnet byen med jorden på 600-tallet, og ruinene ble liggende begravd under 10 meter med alluvialt slam.
Høydepunkter: I motsetning til sine mer prangende naboer Hierapolis og Laodikea, er dette stedet nesten fullstendig uutgravd, noe som betyr at hele den romerske byen ligger sovende under bondegårdenes marker. Når du går over den gresskledde haugen, kan du bokstavelig talt kjenne konturene av gater og bygninger rett under føttene dine, urørt av arkeologer i over 1300 år.
Insidertips
- 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.
