of Dim valley on Taurus Mountains. About 25 km. away from Alanya.
The nearest village is Gözüküçük. In the
border of the region known as Mountainous Kilikya Region in antique
age. Strabon mentions the town as having harbour and established on
a hill in chest shape. The important ruins of the town remaining at
present are observatory towers, Caracalla excedraa, odeon or theatre,
Zeus Megistos temple, Apollon temple, Caesar temple, agora, bath and
necropolis. Non-existence of ruins from Hellenistic times is due to
the fact that the town was under control of pirates during then and
therefore improvement was not made sufficiently. Inscription dating
the town from B.C. 6th century in Fenike language and found in the
town is exhibited in the Alanya museum. Other important art discovered
in the town is "diploma of a Roman soldier" being exhibited
in the Alanya Museum., which gives information about military aspect
of the town. The ruins are dated from Roman period. |
