Tavas is a town and a district of Denizli Province of Turkey, on a wide plain on the road to Muğla, near to the district of Kale (and often the two are linked in one breath ''Kale-Tavas''). Population is around 12,720 ==History== The area has been occupied for a long time, proven by the presence of the mound of ''Medet Höyük'', which appears to date back to the Bronze Age (but which has not been thoroughly excavated or researched). Many civilizations have settled here including the Hittites, Phrygians, Persians, Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines. In antiquity this land south of the Menderes River was part of the region of Caria and was controlled from the nearby castle of Kale (known as Tabae in antiquity). In the 18th century emigrants from England settled in Garipköy and Sarıabat villages. Tavas was reported as having a timber industry in 1920. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tavas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
