Read more on Wikipedia →Story
A Pisidian town in the Taurus mountains near Kocaaliler village in Bucak, Burdur. It was built on a hill commanding the valley of the Aksu, the ancient Kestros, with cliffs too steep to climb on the east, west and south, so its walls were raised only across the gaps between the rocks. The seating of the theatre was cut straight into the bedrock while the stage building is badly ruined, and the necropolis lies outside the walls to the north. The state of the buildings takes the town's history back to the fifth and fourth centuries BC. It was occupied in Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine times.
