Necropolis of Hierapolis
Hierapolis Nekropolü
One of the best-preserved ancient cemeteries in Asia Minor, with more than a thousand sarcophagi, house-shaped tombs and round burial mounds stretching for about 2 kilometers.
Many patients who came to Hierapolis for treatment died here, which gave rise to a vast necropolis. It spans from the Hellenistic period to early Christian times and includes many tomb types, such as sarcophagi, family burial chambers and earthen mounds. The necropolis lies on both sides of the avenue outside the north gate and connects to the north gate entrance. It is recommended to enter through the north gate, walk and look along the way, then head south to the city gate and the theater. Protect yourself from the sun in summer.
