Ancient city of Lirbe

The ancient city of Lirbe is a famous archaeological landmark of Turkey, located twenty-three kilometers north of the city of Side.

The ruins of the ancient city of Lirbe lie in the middle of a dense pine forest and look very picturesque.

The lirbe was founded in 300 BC and flourished for a long time. Archaeological excavations in this place were conducted in the seventies of the 20th century, and the finds discovered by scientists today can be admired in the Historical Museum of Antalya - there is a bronze statue of the god Apollo and the remains of a beautiful temple mosaic.

Getting to Lirbe is quite difficult - a long, broken road leads to the ancient city, winding in a dense forest. However, such difficulties do not stop true lovers of antiquity, and the ruins of Lirbe attract many tourists.
