Lagina (Ancient Greek: τὰ Λάγινα) or Laginia (Λαγινία)[1] was a town and religious centre in ancient Caria. It contained an important monumental temple of Hecate, at which great festivals were celebrated every year.[2] For most of antiquity, it was a part of the territory of Stratonicea.
Its site is located near Turgut, Anatolia, in southwestern Turkey.[3][4]
