Baku, October 11, AZERTAC Blaundus Ancient City, which is located on the top of a hill in the northeast part of Sülümenli village in Ulubey district of Turkish Usak province, looks like a peninsula surrounded by three stream beds presenting breathtakingly beautiful ruins. The most special are a series of stone blocks which were once a state building that have earned the nickname the "Stonehenge of Anatolia.The ancient city, founded in 4th-3rd century BC by those coming from Macedonia during Alexander the Great's Anatolian expedition, was later linked to the Kingdom of Pergamon and the Roman Empire. The city's Macedonian inhabitants used to even call themselves the “Macedonians of Blaundus.” However not long after Alexander the Great’s reign, Blaundus became part of the Kingdom of Pergamon, and later, was occupied by the Romans. The city experienced its golden age in the Roman era.The far end of the city has three constructions that stand out with a skillful placement of stone blocks. Visitors interested in photography from the nearby provinces and districts are welcomed by the structures standing in the city with the splendor of the first day.Built on a vast plain surrounded by deep valleys and canyons which resembles a peninsula, the city of Blaundus is a 40-minute drive from Uşak.A temple, theater, stadium, graves made of rock, a colonnaded street and well-preserved city walls are the most notable sites this often-overlooked ancient city boasts.The monumental tomb is one of the important figures found of Blaundus, whose ruins are quite dilapidated and covered with vegetation.
