Sagalassos: This Pisidian city was developed by the Phrygians and Lydians until Alexander conquered it in 333 BCE. It was possibly also the C14th BCE Hittite city of Salawassa. The Romans incorporated it into their Asian province in the 1st CE, and it's mostly their architecture you see today. The town faded away after earthquakes and plague in the 6th century CE.

@megalithic I wonder if we know how widespread was the practice of producing theatres of this size and complexity, and the amount of effort required over how many years.
