Tripolis, Archaeological site in Buldan, Turkey.

The archaeological complex of Tripolis spreads across a vast area near the Meander River, containing temples, public buildings, and a theater from ancient times.

Founded in the Hellenistic period, Tripolis developed into a major Roman settlement and continued to thrive until the Byzantine era, when an earthquake in 494 caused its decline.

Excavations at Tripolis have revealed a sixth-century Byzantine church decorated with frescoes and Roman murals, including a notable leopard painting on display.

The archaeological site lies 20 kilometers northwest of Pamukkale and visitors can enter through two main entrances: the Gate of Hierapolis and the Gate of Philadelphia.

The site features a 450-meter colonnaded street intersecting with the Orpheus Fountain, demonstrating the advanced urban planning of ancient civilizations.
