Colossae ancient site is located in Western Anatolia( Denizli province). It had a strategical and religious value in this landscape. An ancient site that was located at strategical point like Colossae had been recorded several times. This is Colossae;

Colossae was constructed nearby the border region between Phrygia and Caria. Christianity apostles visited here and 7 holy churches were built nearby Colossae. But Hierapolis and Laodecia sites made its importance lose in this period. Earthquakes were the disasters that had destroyed the city several times.
