Kula is a municipality and district in Manisa Province, situated in western Turkey at an elevation of 635 metres. The Kula Volkanik Jeoparkı showcases the region's geological features, while Hoca Seyfettin Köprüsü and Meryem Ana Kilisesi represent its historical heritage. The district holds limited appeal for most travellers beyond its volcanic landscape.
