Sardis Ancient City
The ruins of the ancient city of Sardis, the capital of the Lydian State, are in the Sart town of Salihli District. It is understood from the excavations that Sart and its region have been the scene of various settlements for over 5000 years and that it was an important settlement center in the Roman and Byzantine periods.
The city of Sardes of the Lydian period, known as the place where money was first printed under the guarantee of the state in history, became a rich city thanks to agriculture, animal husbandry, trade and gold mining in the Paktolos Stream.
