Its story
Sebastopolis, also known as Saleia, is 2 km east of Kızılca, about 19 km south of Tavas. Located on the mountain road between Tabai and Themisonion, the settlement took the name Sebastopolis in the Roman imperial period and minted coins. It is known to have also been inhabited in the Byzantine period. Because of erosion, most of the remains can be seen only to a limited extent.
