Colossae was an ancient city located in the western part of Turkey, in the province of Denizli, near the modern-day town of Honaz. The city was founded in the 1st millennium BC and was a significant center of trade, religion, and culture in the region.

One of the main attractions of Colossae is the remains of the ancient city, which can still be seen today. The city was known for its large agora, which was a public gathering place and marketplace, as well as its impressive Roman-style theater that could seat up to 10,000 people.

Colossae was also home to a number of important religious sites, including the Temple of Artemis, which was one of the largest and most important sanctuaries of the goddess in the ancient world. The city was also a center of early Christianity, with one of the seven churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation located here.

Today, visitors to Colossae can explore the ancient ruins and learn about the city’s rich history and cultural significance. The site is particularly popular among history buffs and those interested in archaeology and ancient civilizations.

In addition to the ancient ruins, the surrounding area is also known for its natural beauty, with the nearby Pamukkale hot springs and Hierapolis ancient city drawing visitors from around the world.
