The ancient city located in the village of Sart in the Salihli district of Manisa was the capital of the Lydian state in ancient times and is also known as the beginning of the royal road. Although the ancient city has the first known theatre in history, it is still waiting to be unearthed. The historical library and the king's thrones can easily be seen in the ancient city. Excavations are continuing in the ancient city and the artefacts are exhibited in the ethnographic Museum of Manisa. There is a cemetery of 85 graves belonging to the Royal Lydian Family on the Bin hills, 5 km north of the town of Sart.
