TERMESSOS
Upper Agora

Termessos, Turkey


Termessos, Turkey


The upper agora, or marketplace, had four immediate temples, but only one still stands in decent condition, the one of Zeus Solymos, the main god of Termessos.
The agora is located right up from the theatre. It has several underground sections, easy to see through large openings in the ground. At the far end of the ground is a mausoleum, which is interesting by its unusual location; on a marketplace.
