The Sleeping Beauty of the Metropolis Meets Sunlight

The 2012's excavations uncovered a 2500-years-old headless woman statue buried in the city walls. The statue was waiting to meet the sunlight for centuries inside the city wall that intersects the Assembly Hall, one of the best-preserved rare examples of Late Hellenistic Period. The statue, 72 artifacts for inventory, and 175 artifacts for study collection have been presented to İzmir Archaeology Museum.
