Martyrium of St. Philip

Hierapolis, Pamukkale

Overview

A 5th-century octagonal structure on a hill east of Hierapolis, traditionally held to be the site where the apostle Philip was martyred around AD 80. Excavations by an Italian archaeological team in 2011–2012 uncovered a 1st-century tomb believed to be Philip's, causing great excitement in the scholarly world. The uphill walk is somewhat steep, but the panoramic view of all Hierapolis and the Denizli plain from the summit is ample reward. Included in Hierapolis combined admission. About 20 minutes uphill walk from the theatre.
