Aigai Archaeological Sitevisitor guide.

Aigai is located within Köseler Village of Yunt Mountain, 49 km from Manisa city center. Situated atop a volcanic hill at an elevation of 360 meters above sea level and bearing the name 'Aegean', Aigai is an Aeolian city. In antiquity, the coastal strip of Western Anatolia between Edremit and the Gulf of İzmir was called Aeolis. The arrival of Aeolians on Western Anatolian shores dates approximately to 1100 BC. The Aigai archaeological site is also known locally as 'Nemrutkale' or 'Köseler Castle'. The city experienced its most flourishing era during the Kingdom of Pergamon, reorganized anew after the model of Pergamon itself. In 17 AD, Aigai was devastated by a cataclysmic earthquake that violently shook the entire Aegean Region.
