Oenoanda, Archaeological site in Muğla Province, Turkey

The ruins of Oenoanda stand at 1413 meters above sea level, featuring city walls that reach heights of 10 meters with preserved polygonal masonry construction.

The city established itself during the first millennium BC and evolved through Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods, becoming part of the Lycian League.

The site contains a monumental inscription spanning 80 meters, commissioned by philosopher Diogenes, detailing Epicurean teachings on physics, epistemology, and ethics.

Located west of İncealiler village, the archaeological site includes remains of an ancient aqueduct system and a Roman bridge demonstrating engineering capabilities.

Archaeological evidence revealed a screw wine press within domestic structures, connecting to the city's original Hittite name Wiyanawanda, meaning rich in wine.
