APHRODISIAS

 

Aphrodisias was first inhabited in the third millennium BC.

The warship of Aphrodisias, universal goddess of love and mother fertility, began in the 7th century BC. However, the city was not famous until Roman times, when it was considered as a free state and developed into a religious, literary and artistic centre.


 

The agora, temple, baths and  stadium are from this period. When the Byzantines conquered the city, it was christened the town Stravopolis. The Byzantines built the temple, a church and founded a diocese. The celebrated white and blue-grey marble from a nearby quarry produced material for high quality works of sculpture. And it is one of the most ancient well - preserved cities.
