Unfortunately only visible from a distance in the photos, as it is closed:

Tralleis (ancient Greek Τράλλεις, also Τράλλις: Trallis or Tralles) is an ancient city in Caria. It is located two kilometers north of the center of today's city of Aydın (Turkey).

On the Topyatağı hill above the city of Aydın there are excavations of a Roman high school, an agora, a stadium, a theater, a row of columns and several temples.

The ancient city of Tralleis is located on the plateau on the southern slope of the Kestane Mountains, in the north of Aydın province. 1 km from the city center. The city, which is at a distance, was founded by the people of Argos and the people of Tralleis. This city, which was founded on the fertile lands of the Menderes basin, changed hands frequently among the Hellenistic kingdoms after it was taken by Alexander in 334 BC.

The only surviving structure in Tralleis today is the ruins of the gymnasium called "Three Eyes", which was built in the 2nd century and was one of the leading structures of the ancient age in terms of education, sports and culture. A bath, theater, agora and stadium from the Roman period are among the other buildings of the city. With ongoing excavations, the underground parts of the city are being revealed. Famous for the leathers and red pottery it produced in ancient times, the city also trained two great sculptors named Apollonios and Tauriskos and Anthemios, one of the architects of Hagia Sophia. The statues named Farnese Gorge and Young Athlete, two world-famous sculptures of sculpture, are among the wonders of Tralleis.
