Pisidia

The mountainous territory of Pisidia extends across the Taurus Mountains, forming natural barriers that influenced settlement patterns throughout its history.

Following the death of King Amyntas in 25 BC, Rome integrated Pisidia into the province of Galatia, marking a shift in administrative control.

The population of Pisidia maintained their native language and customs despite external influences, organizing themselves into independent tribal communities in mountain settlements.

Modern visitors can explore archaeological remains of ancient Pisidian cities through guided tours departing from Antalya, with summer offering optimal exploration conditions.

The limestone terrain of Pisidia contains numerous undiscovered archaeological sites, as many settlements remain buried beneath centuries of geological deposits.
