Sagalassos Archaeological Site

Sagalassos Ancient City (Sagalassos Antik Kenti), included in the Tentative List of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2009 is in the Ağlasun district of Burdur. As one of the most significant ancient cities in the region, Sagalassos was the most important city of the Pisidia region during the Roman Imperial period, and most of the buildings in the ancient city today are from that era. The most striking structures of the mountaintop ancient city are the magnificent Antonine Fountain, flowing for 2,000 years, and the extensive Roman bath complex, which has survived to the present day with its two floors preserved. Archaeological excavations revealed other notable public buildings such as the library, residences, a temple, baths (hammam) and a Hellenistic fountain, the Heroon monument, and a theatre with a capacity for 9,000 people. Sagalassos is one of the best-preserved ancient settlements in Asia Minor.
