Since 2012, the city of Tripolis is the object of systematic excavations, conducted by the University of Pamukkale (Denizli), under the direction of Bahad\u0131r Duman, with the collaboration of the CNR ISPC coordinated by Tommaso Ismaelli. The joint archaeological research project between Italy and Turkey focuses on the architectural study of the Monumental Nymphaeum of the Lydian city (Denizli, Turkey) discovered in the 2016 campaign.<\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

An exceptional case-study<\/h4>\n

The Nymphaeum was constructed in the 2nd century A.D. and underwent an impressive anastylosis in the 5th century A.D. The multi-storey fa\u00e7ade, in white and coloured marble, adorned with statues and inscriptions, has been found in a collapsed position inside the pool. Due to its excellent state of conservation, the Nymphaeum represents an exceptional case-study to analyse a large imperial-era building site and its late-antique restoration.<\/p>\n

Even during the 2020 emergency period due to COVID pandemic, the works on the Nymphaeum didn\u2019t stop. The team of Tripolis Excavations<\/a>, headed by Prof. Bahad\u0131r Duman (University of Pamukkale<\/a>), completed the excavations on the south side of the pool. Meanwhile, in Italy the project for the anastylosis of the Ionic columns and the aediculae of the first order was developed. Thanks to the efforts of Tripolis Excavations, even in this difficult period, the beautiful columns of Egyptian granite and local alabaster were erected on the stylobate, with an impressive chromatic and spatial effect.<\/p>\n
