Magnesia ad Maendrum

an ancient city in Caria (in what is now southwestern Turkey). The site was investigated by French (1842-43) and German (1891-93) archaeological expeditions.

The city was constructed in the second century B.C. according to a regular plan with a rectangular network of streets proposed by the architect Hermogenes of Alabanda; the principal temples are also attributed to Hermogenes. The ruins of the agora with a stoa and the Ionic temple of Zeus Sosipolis have been preserved, as well as the ruins of the adjoining sanctuary of Artemis Leukophryene. The sanctuary comprised a monumental altar and a pseudodipteral temple with a sculptured frieze; sections of the frieze are housed in the Louvre in Paris.
