The ancient city of Idebessos, located at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level, is located near the Kocaağacı neighbourhood of the Karaca ruins village of Kumluca. Due to the lack of archaeological excavations, there is not much information about the establishment date of the city. The ruins of the ancient city include a theatre with a capacity of 700 people, a city wall, a Turkish bath, an aqueduct and a family cemetery consisting of three sarcophagi.
