Colossae (or Colosse) was an ancient city of [[Phrygia]] (in current day [[Turkey]]), on the [[Lycus River]], which is a tributary of the [[Maeander River]]. It was situated about 12 miles above the city of [[Laodicea]], and near the great road from [[Ephesus]] to the [[Euphrates]]. The site, located in what is now Anatolia in Turkey, has never been excavated.
