Attuda (Hisarköy) is located 17 km southwest of Denizli-Sarayköy Town.
It was a border city in ancient times between Caria and Phrygia. The
shortest route from Tripolis and Laodicea to Aphrodisias passed through
Attuda. The date of the founding of the city is unknown, but it is
estimated that the city was founded in the Hellenistic Era like the
other cities in the Lycus Valley. The city had a role in bonding the
cities in Lycus Valley to Aphrodisias in art and economy. Ancient
sources state that there was a statue of a God called Men mounted on a
horse in a temple which was built in his honor. It's also written in
ancient sources that statues of Zeus, Apollon, Dionysos, Asklepios and
the cult of Artemis Anaitis are also in Attuda. Coins were minted in
Attuda before and after the Empire.The ruins cannot be seen because the village of Hisarköy is on them, but
some of the works of art from Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods
are on display in a store.
