Selge Ancient City

The ruins of Selge extend across a hilltop location, featuring a theater that accommodated 6,000 people and remnants of temples dedicated to Zeus.

Founded in the 4th century BC, Selge functioned as a commercial center until the 13th century, when residents abandoned it due to regional conflicts.

The theater, agora, and temple structures at Selge demonstrate how the city combined entertainment, trade, and religious practices in daily life.

Visitors need sturdy walking shoes to navigate the unexcavated terrain, and should bring water supplies as the site offers limited facilities.

Two Roman bridges from the 2nd century AD, including the Oluk Bridge spanning 14 meters across the Köprü River canyon, remain near Selge.
