Its story

Şaphane Dağı, with its Ulugedik summit, is one of the highest massifs in western Anatolia. The sources of the Gediz River, which flows into the Aegean Sea, are on this mountain. The mountain also gives its identity to Şaphane district, named after the alum (şap) mine worked since the Byzantine period; in the Ottoman period, alum production was long managed directly under the palace.
