Welcome to Sagalassos. To visit the sprawling ruins of Sagalassos, high amid the jagged peaks of Akdag, is to approach myth: the ancient ruined city set in stark. The ancient site of Sagalassos, nestled in the Taurus Mountains, is among the most well preserved ancient cities in the country. View of ruins of antique Nymphaeum.

Located in the upper agora of the city, the most magnificent monumental fountain of Sagalassos that has survived has a history of 1,800 years.

The Greek god of wine and vintage, Dionysus, and the half-goat half-human Satyr statues, which have been standing at the two ends of the fountain since the first day, are very expensive works made in the city of Aphrodisias in Aydın.

In addition, theatrical masks related to the cult of Dionysus, grapes and intoxicating plants are included as reliefs. The statue bases belonging to Neon’s family, which were brought from other parts of the city to the fountain, which was repaired after 500 AD, were placed inside and on the top of the fountain.
