Priene, Archaeological site in Söke, Turkey
The archaeological site contains multiple structures including a theater, agora, and residential areas built on terraced slopes rising 380 meters above sea level.
Priene functioned as a significant port city of the Ionian League during the 4th century BC until river sedimentation gradually disconnected it from the sea.
The Temple of Athena represents classical Greek architectural design and served as a central religious institution for the inhabitants of this ancient Hellenistic city.
The site layout follows a systematic grid pattern, with distinct zones for political, commercial, cultural, and religious activities, making navigation straightforward for modern visitors.
The city's preservation allows visitors to observe complete urban planning from the Hellenistic period, with water systems, street networks, and public spaces intact.
