A museum in the Roman bath of Hierapolis displaying sculptures, sarcophagi and reliefs from the cities of the Lykos valley.
Its story
The museum was created by restoring the ancient city's large Roman bath and has welcomed visitors since 1984. Its halls display sculptures, sarcophagi and theater reliefs from the Hierapolis excavations, as well as finds from cities of the Lykos (Çürüksu) valley such as Laodikeia, Kolossai, Tripolis and Attuda. Bronze Age artifacts from Beycesultan Höyüğü show the region's much older past. It can be added to a tour of the site as a cool break.
