Its story
Men was a much-loved god in Phrygia and Pisidia, associated with the moon and healing. The sanctuary is on a hill about 5 km southeast of Pisidian Antioch, overlooking the Gemen Grove. A temple stands at the center, surrounded by a temenos wall bearing crescent reliefs. From the hill there is a wide view over the Yalvaç plain and toward Hoyran.
