🎧 Listen to Introduction

Located in southwestern Turkey, in the upper Molsynus River valley, the site consists of two parts: the archaeological site of Aphrodisias and the marble quarries northeast of the city. The Temple of Aphrodite was built in the 3rd century BC, and the city was founded a century later. Aphrodisias' wealth came from the marble quarries and the artworks created by its sculptors. The city streets were organized around several large civic buildings, which included temples, a theater, an agora, and two baths.
