The ancient city of Stratonica, included in the UNESCO Temporary World Heritage List since 2015. The ancient city, which was a vital area since 1500 BC, that is, the Young Bronze Age, became one of the most important cities of the Karia states. The city, whose population has begun to decline since the early Byzantine period, was used as a permanent settlement during the 14th and 15th centuries and the principality period. The city limits can be well distinguished by the walls which are about 3600 meters long. In the city, which was used as a settlement in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, an impressive city layout and sewage system were developed. Visitors to this ancient city have the opportunity to see the architectural features of different times such as the Roman, Ottoman and Emirati periods along with the ancient period.
