Located in the heart of Aydın, the ancient city of Tralleis is a deeply rooted city that has been home to prominent figures throughout history. The architect Anthemios, one of the designers of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, and Physician Alexandros, notable in the history of medicine, were born and raised here. The city hosts the Gymnasium-bath complex, famously known as “Üçgözler” and recognized as a symbol of Aydın, regarded as one of the most magnificent complexes in Anatolia. Other significant structures in Tralleis include the Roman bath, theater, agora, and stadium. Known for its leather and red pottery, Tralleis also produced renowned sculptors like Apollonios and Tauriskos, who crafted world-famous sculptures such as the Farnese Bull and the Young Athlete. Tralleis is also renowned for the famous Seikilos Inscription, engraved on the tombstone of a young man named Seikilos, who lived in the 1st – 2nd century CE. This inscription, which contains the oldest known musical notation with ancient Greek lyrics, is significant as it features a melody line where each syllable corresponds to a single note. As one of the few fully recovered pieces of ancient music, Seikilos' legacy endures, offering insight into ancient melodies and traditions. With its rich history and cultural heritage, Tralleis is one of Aydın's most significant ancient cities, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore the past.
