Laodicea - Turkey
Remains of the entrance at Laodicea on the Lycus (Latin: Laodicea ad Lycum, also transliterated as Laodiceia or Laodikeia - earlier known as Diospolis and Rhoas) was the ancient metropolis of Phrygia Pacatiana (also attributed to Caria and Lydia), built on the river Lycus, in Anatolia near the modern village of Eskihisar (Eski Hissar), Denizli Province, Turkey. Famous for woollen cloth in Roman times and one of the Seven Churches of Revelation in the 4th century. Destroyed by a large earthquake - the city has never been rebuilt
