Metropolis, Archaeological site in Torbalı, Turkey
Located between Yeniköy and Özbey villages near Izmir, Metropolis sits against Gallesion Mountain, containing remains of fortification walls, an ancient theatre, and a church.
The earliest settlement at Metropolis dates to the Neolithic period, with significant development during the Hellenistic era when it became part of the Pergamum kingdom.
The Temple of Ares and numerous artifacts, including marble statues and griffins, demonstrate the religious and artistic practices of ancient Metropolis inhabitants.

Archaeologists discovered a perfectly preserved 1,800-year-old marble statue of a woman standing on a pedestal during recent excavations at the site.
