Side

Side's Timeless Treasures

Side features some of the most significant Roman ruins in Turkey, centered around a 2nd-century theatre that once seated 20,000 spectators. This collection includes the monumental Nymphaeum fountain, the commercial Agora containing the Temple of Tyche, and the extensive remains of the city's ancient aqueduct system. The site is complemented by a museum housed within restored Roman baths, showcasing artefacts excavated from the surrounding archaeological zone, which spans the Pamphylian port city's history from the Hellenistic to Byzantine eras.
