Abstract :The Italian Archaeological Mission in Hierapolis has celebrated, in 2017, sixty years of uninterrupted activity in one of the most important archaeological sites in Turkey. As to-day, Hierapolis was also famous 2000 years ago, due to the natural phenomena associated with the presence of a seismic fault. In a site with such characters it was necessary to assemble a multidisciplinary team, including experts from the fields of seismology and geology in particular. Over the last few decades, the international collaboration has also become consolidated, with projects on the region’s ancient population. At the request of the Turkish authorities, the Mission has conducted an intense programme of restoration.
