When we go through the cash register – open from. 8.30 – 19.30 (off season until 17.00), introduction: 1 USD, students: 0,4 USD – the first monument, which will get our attention, will be impressive, well-preserved theater. It was already established in 1. half. 4th c. p.n.e., then it was rebuilt by the Greeks, and then enlarged by the Romans, thanks to which it could eventually fit into it 15 thousand. viewers. During the reconstruction, the Romans added a special barrier between the auditorium and the stage, because dangerous gladiators and wild animals often fought here. You can still see the remains of the skene, that is, the building adjacent to the side of the orchestra (scenes). The two columns visible in the first row once held up (along with two other columns) canopy, under which important people sat.

On the hill, with a built-in theater, we see the ruins of the fortress (Palaces) established in the 8th century. and then rebuilt by the Byzantines threatened by Arab attacks. From here there is an excellent view of the remaining ruins and the surrounding wetlands. Nearby, at the foot of the hill, standing Hellenistic heroon, that is, a place of worship of heroes.

Going east from the heroon, first we will pass the ruins of a three-nave Byzantine basilica from the 6th century., which has been identified as the Church of St.. Michael. It is believed, on the basis of exposed floor mosaics, that there was a bishop in the mansion adjacent to the church, that is, the temple was a cathedral. The basilica was built on the foundations of the earlier temple of Dionysus. Behind the church is the northern agora from the late classical era (V w. p.n.e. – 338 r. p.n.e.). It was surrounded by four Corinthian porticoes, of which nothing remains today. You can see a piece of the Ionic stoa with four columns from here, on which the architrave is based, and on it a cornice with the remnants of the relief. There were shops along this hall, and it served as a covered walkway to the street in front of it. The building at the end is standing, on the left side, to delphinion, that is, the sanctuary of Apollo Delphi. This is one of the oldest and most important temples in Miletus, Apollo was the patron saint of the city. The altars of the sanctuary are dated to the 6th century. p.n.e.

Directly to the east behind the Ionic stoa are the remains of the Capito Bathhouse. They were funded by Cornelius Virgil Capito, high official of the Asian province in the middle of the 1st century. To the right of the bathhouse (towards the south) there are ruins of a gymnasium from the 2nd century. p.n.e. The complex consisted of five rooms, to which the bar adjoined from the south. Visible four-column propylon (the entry gate) has recently been restored and built anew. Even further south we find the foundations of the nymphaeum, of the giant fountains from the second century. p.n.e. The two side tanks were fed with water from a distant source via an aqueduct. Water, which has not been used up, it was discharged through a special system of channels to others, smaller fountains in the city. The nymphaeum was two-story, and numerous statues stood in the niches of the façade. There was a Byzantine church to the southeast of the fountain, built in the 6th century. A three (quadrilateral courtyard in front of the church) comes from Roman times (3rd c. n.e.), and the building adjoining it on the north side probably served as a baptistery.
