'''Thyateira''' (also '''Thyatira'''; {{lang-grc|Θυάτειρα}}) was the name of an ancient Greek city in Asia Minor, now the modern Turkish city of [[Akhisar]] ("white castle"), [[Manisa Province]]. The name is probably [[Lydian language|Lydian]]. It lies in the far west of Turkey, south of Istanbul and almost due east of Athens. It is about {{convert|50|mi}} from the [[Aegean Sea]].
