Archaeological work at the ancient city of Blaundos in western Türkiye is offering a closer look at how sacred spaces functioned nearly two millennia ago. Excavations are currently focused on a secluded section of the city's North Temple, where archaeologists are investigating an area believed to have been reserved for religious activity and access by temple officials.
The discovery forms part of a broader effort to understand Blaundos, an ancient settlement perched above deep valleys in present-day Uşak Province. The excavations conducted across the site in recent years have gradually revealed new details about its urban layout, religious buildings and long occupation history.
