Aphrodisias city was named after the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. Even today, it feels alive with history, art, and beauty. Aphrodisias was known for its unique religious traditions, a blend of the worship of Aphrodite and local Anatolian deities.
What truly set Aphrodisias apart, though, was its incredible sculpture school. The marble quarry located near Aphrodisias provided top-quality stone for the local artisans trained by the sculpture school in Aphrodisias. They transformed these marbles into stunning art pieces. The sculptures of Aphrodisias were sought after by Roman elites. Today, you can see them within the city and Aphrodisias Museum.
Walking through Aphrodisias today feels like stepping back in time. It is one of the best-preserved ancient cities in Turkey. The ancient streets and stunning marble sculptures bring the vibrant and wealthy city back to the minds and eyes of modern-day visitors.
But there's more to Aphrodisias than its art. It was also a place of learning and ideas, attracting great minds of the ancient world.
Aphrodisias was a city of rich culture, intellect, and creativity. Today, it continues to inspire and fascinate visitors.
