An amazing frieze of the four seasons….
A description of a statue of the lady for which the city was built and dedicated….. and for the love she stood for.
Bunny sitting on a litter pile…. It’s 110 degrees out here!
A huge ring of sarcophagi ….. while the occupants did not apparently achieve physical immortality, their boxes seem to have…..
One of many life-size or larger than life-size statues of former local dignitaries…..
One of several exhibits in vast halls that display only some of the vast architectural wonder….. That’s Bunny on the opposite side.
A photo from one of the visitor centers. This one shows the houses in the local town of Geyre where Roman columns were used to support porch roofs and laid on the ground as livestock fences……
Inside one of the visitor centers (this one full of the photos of what the place looked like when it was “re-discovered” in the 1950s—when parts of the buildings were used for local houses) on the ceiling was this bat colony seemingly completely adjusted to the presence of humans just a few feet away.
Amazing gates…. All that stands today of what was once surrounded by masterpieces…..
