Located in the western Aegean region of Turkey, Manisa is the capital of Manisa Province, about 30 kilometers away from Izmir, and is situated at the junction of the Gediz Valley and the Mandres Plain, which has been an important hub of Western Anatolia since ancient times. The city has a rich history, having been an important stronghold of the Lydian, Roman and Byzantine civilizations, and was famous for the mosque and baths built here during the Ottoman period by Sultan Suleiman, the mother of Suleiman the Magnificent. Just outside the city, Mount Sipylus National Park is a place where nature meets myth, where the legendary goddess Nymph resides, and where the "Weeping Rock" is a geological wonder. Manisa is also known as the "City of Pomegranates", with its plump, sweet and juicy pomegranates, which are Turkey's National Geographical Indication. Today, the city is a mix of historic sites, idyllic landscapes and modern industry, preserving Ottoman architecture while thriving on agriculture and manufacturing, making it a cultural destination not to be missed in the Aegean region.
