Overview
UNESCO sites and what they mean
Aphrodisias was a Roman city famous for its sculpture school and its sanctuary of Aphrodite. The reliefs and portrait busts in the site museum are unusually fine; the stadium is one of the best preserved in Anatolia.
Aphrodisias is known for its marble quarries and sculpture school, and the site museum holds one of the richest collections of Roman sculpture in Anatolia. The stadium, the Temple of Aphrodite and the theater are spread across an easy walking circuit. It is quieter than Ephesus and works well as a day trip from Pamukkale or İzmir.
