Manisa
Manisa is a city in western Turkey, at the foot of Mount Sipylus above the Gediz plain, north-east of Izmir. Known in antiquity as Magnesia ad Sipylum, it gave its name to the battle of 190 BCE in which Rome defeated Antiochus III. Saruhan Bey took it from the Byzantines in 1313 and made it the capital of his beylik, and under the Ottomans it was a residence of princes being trained to govern.
