Denizli<\/strong><\/h1>\n

History<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Like other cities in Anatolia, Denizli has hosted many civilizations throughout history. Denizli, where a civilization called Luwians lived in 2500 BC, was later captured by the Hittites. With the disappearance of the Hittites, the Firgler dominated the region. After the Phrygians, the Lydians dominated the region.<\/p>\n

In 600-500 BC, Persians, then Alexander the Great, Pergamon Kingdom, Roman Empire, Byzantium dominated Denizli and its surroundings, respectively.<\/p>\n

With the Victory of Malazgirt in 1071, Seljuks conquered Denizli as well as many Anatolian cities. Later, Byzantium attempted to take back Denizli but could not establish a long-lasting sovereignty in the region.<\/p>\n

Germiyano\u011fullar\u0131, which was established in the region with the dissolution of the Anatolian Seljuks, became an Ottoman land during the period of Sultan Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m Bayezid. While connected to a province when the independent Republic of Turkey Izmir, Denizli has achieved the establishment of provincial status.<\/p>\n
