Most viewed - Aphrodisias, 3/26/2006

Amphitheater and Acropolis606 viewsLooking west. The Amphitheater was built into the side of the Acropolis.

South Agora and Baths of Hadrian573 viewsThe Baths of Hadrian, built across the west end of the South Agora, were massively constructed from large tufa-like blocks faced with marble veneer and consist of five great barrel-vaulted chambers, with an imposing colonnaded court in front.

North Agora viewed from the Acropolis569 viewsThe north agora is a large public square (202 X 72 m), originally enclosed by stoas (porches) on all sides. Parts of the south and east stoas have remained standing since antiquity, and the north stoa was partially uncovered in excavations in the 1960s. Archaeologists believe this was the original center of Hellenistic Aphrodisias.

Strolling amidst the ruins of Aphrodisias567 viewsOur tour group heads for the Amphitheater.

Corinthian559 viewsA column capital in the Corinthian style.

Tetrapylon Pediment554 viewsThe pediment was decorated with relief figures of Eros and Nike hunting among the acanthus leaves.

Tetrapylon554 viewsThis is the first structure you would normally see upon entry to the site. For us it was the last, since we walked the site in reverse. The Tetrapylon consisted of four rows of four columns (tetra = four and pylon = gateway in Greek). Built in the second century AD, It was extensively repaired and re-erected in 1990.

Intricate Stonework546 viewsA piece in the Aphrodisias Museum.

Anatolia Restaurant - Main Entrance545 viewsEntrance to the Dining Room.

The Anatolia Restaurant - side entrance537 viewsThe side court of the restaurant, the entrance to the restrooms.

Sarcophagus537 viewsDon't know whose.

Skinny-Dipping Pool535 viewsIn the pool enclosed by the Portico of Tiberius, devotees of Aphrodite could frolic in the nude and disport themselves in all manner of lascivious activities. (Of course I just made that up.)
