Sabancı Foundation has been supporting the Lovers of Metropolis Association (MESEDER) since 2003 to contribute to scientific excavations in the region. This support continued unabated in 2024. In the “City of the Mother Goddess” Metropolis, which opened to visitors as an archaeological site in 2015, many landmarks have been unearthed to date, including the theater, the parliament building, the city’s bath and sports complexes, the Acropolis walls and cisterns, residences, the Araplıtepe Church, and over 11,000 historical artifacts.

In 2024, the Sabancı Foundation renovated the Metropolis Excavation House.
