Blaundos was an ancient city founded by the successors of Alexander the Great. The city is about 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Uşak, Turkey, near the village Sülümenli. Blaundos is situated on a rocky place in the valley of the Meandre River, now known as the Büyük Menderes River. The city is protected by a peak, and the only access from the north is protected by a gate, reminiscent of Hellenistique and Roman times.
