Recent archaeological excavations in southwestern Turkey have unearthed a remarkably preserved 2,050-year-old council building that once served as the political and judicial nerve center of the ancient Roman city of Laodicea. The discovery, made during the 2025 excavation season in Denizli province, marks a significant milestone in over two decades of archaeological work at this historically rich site. This extraordinary find sheds new light on the administrative sophistication of Roman urban planning and governance in ancient Anatolia.

The structure, dating to the late first century BC, represents a unique architectural achievement with its distinctive pentagonal outer walls and hexagonal interior design. This architectural layout has never before been documented in ancient Anatolia, making the discovery particularly significant for understanding regional building traditions during the Roman period reports Türkiye Today.
