About this place
Situated on the northern slopes of the Aydın valley, the ruins of Tralleis offer a glimpse into a once-prosperous Hellenistic and Roman city. The most iconic structure remaining is the 'Üç Gözler' (Three Eyes), a massive vaulted gymnasium complex that stands as a testament to the architectural ingenuity of the period. Walking through the site, visitors can observe the remains of the theater and surrounding fortifications while enjoying panoramic views of the valley. It is a place of quiet reflection, where the scale of the ancient ruins contrasts with the surrounding modern agricultural fields.
Wear sturdy walking shoes as the terrain around the ruins can be uneven.
