Priene is an ancient Greek city located in western Anatolia, near the modern town of Güzelçamlı in Turkey. Founded in the 4th century BCE, it was known for its well-planned layout and impressive architecture, including the Temple of Athena and a theater that could seat thousands of spectators. The city was built on a hillside, providing stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The city was part of the Ionian League and played a significant role in the cultural and political life of ancient Greece. Over time, Priene declined due to changes in trade routes and natural disasters, eventually being abandoned. Today, it is an important archaeological site, attracting visitors interested in ancient history.
