Sidens antika stad
Side var den viktigaste hamnstaden i Pamfylien-regionen under antiken. Sides antika stad grundades på en halvö i kustområdet av Manavgat-distriktet. Den har en historia som sträcker sig tillbaka till 700-talet f.Kr. Namnet "Side", som betyder granatäpple, kommer från det luwiska språket. Staden hamnade under det lydiska kungarikets styre tillsammans med hela Pamfylien-regionen på 600-talet f.Kr. Därefter följde dominans av Persien och Alexander den store. Efter att den romerske konsuln Publius Servilius rensade området från pirater år 78 f.Kr., anslöts Side till Romerska riket, precis som de andra städerna i Pamfylien.
Den antika staden Side, som försvagades av attacker från arabiska räder, Rhodos, Venedig, genuesiska pirater, plundringar, attacker från Cyperns kungar och plundring under korstågen, övergavs helt sedan 1100-talet och lokalbefolkningen migrerade till Antalya.
Bland ruinerna som du kan se i Sides antika stad finns stadsmurar, stadsporten, Nymphaeum, vattenledningar, gator med kolonner, hus, Handelsagoran, Antika teatern, Agorabadet (Side Museum), Vespasianusfontänen och Monumentalporten, Triumfbågen, Dionysostemplet, basilikan, hamnbadet, Apollontemplet, Athenatemplet, Södra basilikan, Stora badet, Statsagoran, Dopkapellet, Biskopspalatset och Basilikan, samt Philippus Attius-muren.
Selimiye-byn grundades av kretensiska invandrare på 1890-talet vid kusten av Sides antika stadsruiner. Bosättningen fortsätter i staden än idag. Vissa platser har antika väggar eller golv. Att besöka Sides antika stad är gratis. Side Museum och Side Teater kräver betalning för att besökas med separata biljetter.
Sides antika teater
Den byggdes i romersk arkitekturtradition i centrum av Sides antika stad. Den del av teatern som sträcker sig upp till vägen i mitten av trappstegen lutar mot en sluttning. Den övre delen av sittplatserna är placerad på en plan yta som lutar på valven. Med denna egenskap är Sides antika teater det enda exemplet på en sådan byggnad i Anatolien. Teaterns scenbyggnad har tre våningar. Antoninska periodens barockstil syns i dess dekorationer. Sides antika teater är arkitektoniskt lik Colosseum. Det är känt att teatern, som rymmer 17 000 personer, användes för gladiator- och djurstrider under senromersk tid.
Apollon- och Athenatemplet
Apollontemplet, som ligger på torget i slutet av den kolonnprydda gatan i antika Side, namngavs efter Apollo, en av stadens huvudsakliga gudar, känd som guden för ljus, skönhet och konst. En del av Apollontemplet i mitten av den bysantinska basilikan demonterades för att användas i byggandet av basilikan. Idag har några av de stora kolonnerna från Apollontemplet, vars konstruktion dateras till 150 e.Kr., restaurerats och satts tillbaka på plats. Apollontemplet, som ligger vid havet i Side, är verkligen ett arv värt att se med sina historiska lämningar. Besökare visar stort intresse för att sitta på templets stenar och titta på solnedgången härifrån.
Monumental fontän
Restaurerings- och reparationsarbete pågår inom ramen för projektet "Historien kommer fram i dagens ljus" vid den romerska monumentala fontänen (Nymphaeum), som ligger mittemot huvudentrén med två torn till Sides antika stad och dateras till 200-talet e.Kr. Det är den största antika fontänen av Nymphaeum-typ i Anatolien och i Pamfylien-regionen. Under din resa till Side, glöm inte att besöka denna magnifika byggnad, som är känd som "9 fontäner" bland folket.
