Its story

Kremna was built by the Pisidians on a steep hill overlooking the Aksu Stream valley. Under Augustus it became one of the five Roman colonies in Pisidia and served as an important military base. In the 3rd century AD the city is known to have withstood a long siege, and traces of the siege ramp can still be seen. The statues of Athena, Nemesis, Apollo and Herakles found here are displayed in the Burdur Museum. The view from the rocky hill over the valley is one of the most striking moments of the visit.
