Its story
This area, 6–12 km north of Sardis, is full of monumental burial mounds where the Lydian kings and aristocrats were buried in the 8th–6th centuries BC. Surface surveys have shown that there are at least 119 tumuli here. The mounds rising in waves above the plain were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List together with Sardis in 2025.
