Turkey: Kibyra the city of fast horses and heroic warriors

Kibyra ancient city is located one hour away from Pamukkale in Burdur province. Kibyra Ancient City inherited from the Lycians, is located on three hills overlooking the Golhisar plain, at the foot of the Akdag mass. The city, surrounded by Caria, Phrygia, Lycia, and Pisidia in ancient times, was located at the east-west intersection. Known as the city of fast horses and heroic warriors, the ancient city of Kibyra draws attention especially with the Medusa mosaic in the building used as the Parliament Building and the Odeion (House of Music). 1. Stadion is considered one of the most magnificent ancient stadiums in Anatolia. If you try to feel the struggles of the gladiators while visiting this place, you will be even more impressed. 2. The theater has a capacity of approximately 9,000 people. There is a temple structure on the benches that was later converted into a church. 3. The Tholos Nymphaeum is a planned fountain structure. It was built both to be a social space and to meet the water and sewerage needs of the city with its different evacuation systems. All of these public structures seem to had only minimal damages. There is much more underground, untouched I guess. 4. The building is known as the Odeion; was used as a music-concert hall, winter theater, judiciary, and city council building. The Medusa mosaic, made of red, green, and white marble, located at the very center of the orchestra, is unique in the world. #turkey #trip #ancientcity
