Türkei - Aphrodisias -UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe

            Zahlreiche und gut erhaltene Ruinen machen Aphrodisias zu einer der bedeutendsten archäologischen Stätten des östlichen Mittelmeerraums aus griechisch-römischer Zeit. 
Aphrodisias war eine antike Stadt in der Landschaft Karien im Südwesten der heutigen Türkei beim Dorf Geyre in der Provinz Aydın. Ihr Name leitet sich vom Aphrodite-Kult ab, der im zentralen Aphrodite-Tempel praktiziert wurde.
Die Ursprünge der Siedlung lassen sich bis in das 3. Jahrtausend v. Chr. zurückverfolgen, ihren Namen erhielt sie jedoch erst in hellenistischer Zeit, vermutlich im 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr. Frühere Namen waren Lelegonopolis, Megalopolis und Ninoe. Im Hellenismus ging Aphrodisias auch eine Verbindung (Sympolitie) mit dem benachbarten Plarasa ein.

Aphrodisias, located in the historic Caria region of western Asia Minor (modern-day Anatolia, Turkey), was a small ancient Greek Hellenistic city. It lies near the village of Geyre, approximately 100 km (62 mi) inland from the Aegean Sea coast and 230 km (140 mi) southeast of İzmir. The city was named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, who had a unique cult image there—the Aphrodite of Aphrodisias. Before being known as Aphrodisias, it had three previous names: Lelégōn Pólis (“City of the Leleges”), Megálē Pólis (“Great City”), and Ninó ē. In the Late Antique period, it was renamed Stauropolis (“City of the Cross”). Aphrodisias is renowned for its white and blue-grey Carian marble, extensively quarried for sculptures and building facades. The city’s schools excelled in sculpture and philosophy, but it declined after an earthquake in the 7th century. It is now inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
