Nysa is one of Karia cities within the borders of the Sultanhisar
District of Aydın. We obtain the most important information about
the city from Strabon who lived in Nysa most of his life. Strabon
told that the city consisted of two parts. At the western side of a
flood bed dividing the city into two, lays a gymnasium. At the
northern side lay the Byzantine ruins and a library. To the north of
the library, there is a theatre that carries an importance with its
embossments in the stage building. An odeon and bouleuterion are at
the eastern side of the flood bed. The necropolis of the city lies
on the way to Akharaka, which is a small village in the west. |
