SAGALASSOS ANCIENT CITY

Most of the structures in this city, which was the capital of Pisidia in ancient Greece, have survived, at least partially. The best preserved of these is the theater section. The ruins of the city, built on a sloping terrain at an altitude of 1450–1700 m on the southern slopes of Mount Ağlasun, which is part of the Western Taurus Mountains, spread over an area covering 2.5 km in the east west direction and 1.5 km in the north south direction. First discovered by Paul Lucas in 1706, archaeological excavations in Sagalassos began in 1990.
