[[Sardis]], in the present-day municipality of Salihli, was the ancient capital of [[Lydia]], once ruled by King [[Croesus]], who was renowned for his wealth.

There are the remains of the temple of [[Artemis]] and a restored gymnasium, exhibiting of the past splendor of this ancient city. The splendid [[synagogue]] from the 3rd century is worth visiting, with its elaborate mosaics and artfully carved colored-stone panels.

The villages of [[Mount Yunt]] ([[Yunt Dağı]]) and the towns of [[Gördes]], [[Kula, Manisa|Kula]] and [[Demirci]] are known for their carpets and [[kilim]]s. The houses in [[Kula, Manisa|Kula]] are also local examples of [[Ottoman Turks|Ottoman]] architecture.
