Tralleis Ancient City
Efeler, Aydın
An ancient city on the plateau north of Aydın, with the gymnasium arches known as "Üç Gözler."
Its story
Tralleis was founded on a broad plateau on the southern slope of Kestane Dağı (Mesogis), north of Aydın. Ancient texts sometimes place the city within Caria and sometimes within Lydia. Its most prominent remains are the arches of the gymnasium, popularly known as "Üç Gözler" (the Three Arches). Because the site long lay within a military zone, excavations are relatively recent; the theater and agora remains are being brought to light. The Seikilos Epitaph, a funerary inscription with music, was also found in this city.
