A Turkish archaeological team led by Pamukkale University’s Archaeology Department has been working at the site since 2011 and they began restoration work there in June 2020 following the years of damage by landslides and earthquakes. Before then, archaeologists from the German Archaeological Institute worked at the site from 1970 to 2011. The most famous feature at the site is the Temple of Zeus, which is said to be the best-preserved temple honoring the Greek god in all of ancient Anatolia. It also houses the ruins of an impressive ancient theater and stadium, a gymnasium, five bridges, a trade building, cemeteries, two public baths, and a sacred cave called Metre Steune, which was used before the first century BC.
