A Roman city built on both banks of the Penkalas stream, famous for its Temple of Zeus and theater-stadium complex.

Its story

Aizanoi was built in Çavdarhisar at about 1,000 meters above sea level, on both banks of the Penkalas (Kocaçay) stream. An important political and economic center in the Roman period, the city's best-preserved building is the Temple of Zeus. The combined theater-stadium, the macellum inscribed with Diocletian's price edict, the baths and the Roman bridges still in use show how widely the city spread. Aizanoi was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in 2012.
