Side220 photos from Side 2023-10-19 Side is a city on the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. It includes the modern resort town and the ruins of the ancient city of Side, one of the best-known classical sites in the country. Modern Side is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Manavgat. The great ruins are among the most notable in Asia Minor. They cover a large promontory which a wall and a moat separate from the mainland. The colossal theatre complex of the 2nd century is less well-preserved that of Aspendos, but it is almost as large, seating 15,000–20,000 people. It was converted into an open-air sanctuary with two chapels during Byzantine times. The well-preserved city walls provide an entrance to the site through the Hellenistic main gate from the 2nd century BC. The colonnaded street had marble columns whose remains can be seen near the Roman baths, restored as a museum displaying statues and sarcophagi from the Roman period. The agora includes the remains of the round Tyche and Fortuna temple. The early Roman Temple of Dionysus is near the theatre. At the left side is a Byzantine Basilica. Other buildings include three temples and a nymphaeum, a grotto or fountain building of elaborate design. We visited Side on a day trip from Antalya in the autumn of 2023.
