Biblical city
Sardis
Sart, Türkiye · Roman Asia Minor
Once the capital of the Lydian kingdom of Croesus, Sardis was wealthy and seemingly secure, yet twice fell to surprise attack. Revelation 3:1-6 warns the church there that it had a name for being alive while being dead. The site preserves a great temple of Artemis and one of the largest ancient synagogues yet excavated.
