Laodicea was founded in the 3rd century BC by the Syrian king Antiochos II who named it after his wife. The city was part of the kingdom of Pergamon before being occupied by the Romans. Rich trading city, it was famous for the quality of its cotton. The existence of a large Jewish community may explain the success of Christianity among its inhabitants. Laodicea is one of the seven churches mentioned by St. John in his Apocalypse. The present ruins date from Roman times, but most of the stones have been used in recent constructions, so the site is only of interest to the initiated.
