Selge's ruins are spread across a mountain plateau at 950 metres. The theatre is the best-preserved structure — a Hellenistic design later modified by the Romans, with the stage building largely intact. Nearby are the remains of a stadium, a temple of Zeus, agora walls, and stretches of city wall. No entrance fee, no crowds, no facilities. Walk among the ruins freely; locals from the village of Altınkaya graze goats among the ancient stones.
Selge Ruins
A story
Selge was one of the most remote and independent cities in the ancient Mediterranean world — a Pisidian mountain city that maintained its independence from both the Persians and Alexander the Great by virtue of its position in the mountains above the Köprülü Canyon.
