Phrygia

Phrygia was an ancient region located in what is now central Turkey, known for its rich history and culture during the Iron Age. It was inhabited by the Phrygians and played a significant role in early Greek and Anatolian civilizations. The area was famous for its distinctive art, architecture, and the legendary King Midas, who was said to turn everything he touched into gold. Throughout history, Phrygia was involved in regional conflicts and was eventually incorporated into larger empires like Persia and later the Roman Empire. Today, its archaeological sites provide valuable insights into ancient Anatolian history.
