About

About Denizli

Denizli is a city in Aegean Turkey, and seat of the province of Denizli. The city forms the urban part of the districts Merkezefendi and Pamukkale, with a population of 691 783 in 2024.

Deniz means the sea, or a large lake, which this place never had: it's on the edge of a hillside south of the plains of Büyük Menderes River. The name probably derives from Tonguzlu, place of the wild boar, though it took its denizens until the 14th century to decide they didn't much like being called swine and to elide the pronunciation. The town however remained agricultural. It managed to avoid warfare, whereas the more important nearby city of Laodicea was wrecked by the Turks and Mongols, and its residents relocated to Denizli.
