Little was known about Borja until Alexander the Great arrived in 333 BC, where it flourished greatly under his rule, and the Berbers opened the city gates and allowed it to be used as a base for him during his campaigns in Pamphylian. After his death it came under Roman rule in 133 BC, this is the time when it flourished the most and indeed most of the ruins that remain today are from that era. When passing the road from Aksu, we will see the most important monuments there, which is the large ambi theatre, which can accommodate 15,000 people, on the stage of the stage there are scenes related to Dionysus and Centros where it is possible to see some of the remains in it, and in the Roman era it was used as a wrestling arena. Close to the Ambi Theater are remnants of a fairly large stadium that could hold up to 12,000 people. These two facilities were built in the second century and are located outside the main site. Opposite the theater in Parga there is a large stadium where horse races were held. The city itself is surrounded by a wall and has some tower fortifications that clearly helped protect the city, and the entrance to the city is a Roman gate built in the fourth century AD during the reign of Septimius Serverus, which is still remarkably standing today.
