The Basilica of St John stands in the middle of modern Alaşehir, on the ground of ancient Philadelphia, one of the seven cities addressed directly in the Book of Revelation.
Alaşehir throws its festival at the one moment of the year when the whole district smells of drying fruit.
Şehitlik Anıtı is a memorial landmark at the lower part of Alparslan Türkeş Meydanı on Turhan Alakent Caddesi in Alaşehir, Manisa.
Odeon is a compact ancient performance building within Aigai, near Yuntdağıköseler Mahallesi in Yunusemre, Manisa. Its importance comes from being a distinct cultural space inside a hilltop settlement, not from functioning as a modern theatre.
