Sardis Today: What to See at Sart
The monumental synagogue, marble gymnasium and Temple of Artemis make Sardis a highlight of the Seven Churches route.
Synagogue and gymnasium
The vast 4th-century synagogue with its mosaic floors and the restored marble bath-gymnasium façade are among the most impressive sights on the whole route.
Temple of Artemis
A short drive away, the Temple of Artemis sits below the acropolis where old Lydian wealth — and the surprise captures behind 'wake up' — come alive.
Practical tips
Allow 2–3 hours across both areas. Sardis pairs naturally with Thyatira and Philadelphia on a full day from Izmir.
