Archaeological site of one of the seven churches of Revelation. Laodicea was founded in the th century BC by the Syrian King Antiochos II who gave him the name of his wife. The city is part of the kingdom of Pergamos before being occupied by the Romans. A rich merchant city, she was famous for the quality of her cotton. The existence of a large Jewish community may explain the success of Christianity among its inhabitants. Laodicea is one of the seven churches cited by Saint John in his Revelation. The current ruins date back to Roman times (nymphaeum, gymnasium, thermal baths, stadium, theatre). However, since most of the stones of the site have been moved to be used in recent constructions and systematic searches have not been carried out, the site offers only interest for insiders.

Très peu connu et situé à quelques kilomètres seulement de Pamukkale, ce site est en train de se développer: la restauration entreprise par l'équipe d'archéologues de l'Université de Denizli (notamment le temple d'Apollon et l'une des toutes premières églises chrétiennes bâties sous Constantin au IVe siècle) devrait permettre son classement par l'UNESCO au Patrimoine de l'Humanité. Le plateau regorge de vestiges et les équipes de fouille sont très actives. Un travail passionnant à contempler ! Entrée : 10 livres turques
