Sagalassos

Sagalassos is an ancient city on the southern slopes of the Taurus Mountains, in the Ağlasun district of Burdur. The ruins lie about 7 km above the town of Ağlasun, at 1,500–1,700 m. It was one of the main cities of Pisidia in the Roman Imperial period. The site has been on UNESCO's Tentative List since 2009.

The Antonine Nymphaeum, a fountain built in AD 160–180, stands on the north side of the Upper Agora. Its restoration began in 1998, and spring water has run through it again since 2010. The statues in its niches are copies; the originals are in Burdur Museum. The theatre, with about 9,000 seats, is on the slope above the agora.

A winding road climbs from Ağlasun to the entrance. Antalya is about 110 km to the south. Allow two to three hours. Paths are steep and uneven, and the theatre is reached by steps. Check opening hours on muze.gov.tr before you go.
