Adada Ancient City

The name of the Adada Ancient City (Adada Antik Kenti), located in the district of Sütçüler, 89 km from Isparta, is first mentioned in an inscription from a treaty made with the city of Termessos, dating from the BCE 2nd century. It is also known that mercenaries from Adadalı served in the armies of the Hellenistic kings. The city experienced its brightest days under the Roman Empire. The ruins of temples, a theatre, official buildings, a church and other structures still stand in the city. The Temple of Trajan is among the most well-known of the temples in the Pisidia Region. The temple of Emperors and Zeus Megistos-Serapis indicates the existence of the Zeus Megistos and Serapis cults in the city. The building dates from the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries. Another important structure in the city is an open-air meeting venue with 20-tiered seating rows.
