Laodicea Today: What to See near Pamukkale
An expanding excavation of streets, theatres and churches beside Pamukkale — the lukewarm city coming back to light.
A city re-emerging
Ongoing excavation has uncovered Syria Street, two theatres, a stadium, temples and a nymphaeum — Laodicea is one of the most actively growing sites on the route.
The Laodicean church
The restored early Church of Laodicea, with its baptistery, lets visitors stand inside the very congregation the lukewarm letter addressed.
Practical tips
Just 10–15 minutes from Pamukkale, combine Laodicea with the travertines and Hierapolis in one day; go early for cooler light.
