Its story

Spil Dağı (Mount Spil), known in antiquity as Sipylos, rises abruptly from the Gediz plain to about 1,500 meters at its Karadağ summit. Declared a national park on April 22, 1968, the area is covered with forests and is home to endemic plants, among them the Manisa tulip. The Atalanı locality near the summit is a pasture where horses released into the wild (yılkı) since the Ottoman period roam freely. Its yayla flats and valleys are suitable for hiking.
