Antioch of Pisidia

The ruins of Antioch spread across terraced hills at 1236 meters elevation, featuring remains of ancient streets, temples, and public buildings along the Anthius River.

Founded in 300 BCE by Seleucus I Nicator, the city developed into a Roman colony named Colonia Caesarea and became a major administrative center in Asia Minor.

The Great Basilica, constructed in the 4th century, represents one of the earliest monumental churches in Anatolia with preserved apse and nave structures.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site through regular bus services to Yalvaç town, with guided tours available from April through October.

Two mass graves discovered during excavations in 2009 provided archaeologists with extensive information about burial practices and population demographics.
