Council Hall Interior Detail599 viewsThe Imperial Council building consists of three main rooms, each with its own dome. The chamber where the Coiuncil held its deliberations was called the Kubbealti.

Houses on the Hill598 viewsThe modern-looking structures on the left of the Library were constructed to protect the ancient houses on the hill, which are roofless and open to the weather.

Stage Decoration598 viewsAlthough much of the theater stage has collapsed, some of the fine sculpture that adorned it is still intact.

Potpourri598 viewsThis room featured a wide variety of ceramics, including the hexagonal tiles, which I saw few of elsewhere.

Blades Galore597 viewsAnother view of the interior of the turbine blade factory.

The Stonehenge of Perge597 viewsThere was no indication on the site as to the purpose of this ringlike structure in the middle of the Agora. A cistern? A shrine? A pool? Who knows?
