O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Proizvodnja vune učinila je ovaj grad izuzetno bogatim u antici, a lokalne ovce su bile cenjene zbog svoje tamnoljubičasto-crne vune. Ogroman zemljotres sravnio je grad sa zemljom u 7. veku, ostavivši njegove ruševine zatrpane pod 10 metara aluvijalnog nanosa.

Istaknuto: Za razliku od svojih blistavijih suseda Hijerapolisa i Laodikeje, ovo nalazište ostaje gotovo u potpunosti neiskopano, što znači da ceo rimski grad spava ispod poljoprivrednih njiva. Šetajući preko travnatog brežuljka, bukvalno možete osetiti konture ulica i zgrada pod vašim nogama, netaknutih od strane arheologa više od 1.300 godina.

Insajderski saveti

  • 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.
