Remains650 viewsThe objects exhibited here are remains of an older Aya Sophia, built during the reign of Emperor Theodosius II, who dedicated it in 415 AD, and destroyed during the Nika riots of 532.

Bas-relief on Curetes Street649 viewsPastoral scene, most likely illustrating a well-known story out of Greek mythology, but I can't place it.

Nymphaeum649 viewsThe Nymphaeum was a monumental fountain, built in the second century AD, at the end of the colonnaded main street by the Acropolis.

Dessert Trays649 viewsA stunning array of desserts was awaiting us in the dining room.

Council Hall - Domed Ceiling649 viewsThe Council Hall dates from the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent (16th century), but has been restored several times since. The rococo decorations seen here date from the renovations of 1792 and 1819.

The Prytaneion648 viewsCity Council hall and administrative center.

The Amphitheater at Aphrodisias648 viewsThe theater was built in the late first century BC under the patronage of Gaius Julius Zoilus, a native of Aphrodisias who had become a slave of Julius Caesar but was freed by his heir Octavian. Returning to his birthplace a wealthy man, Zoilus initiated a vast building program, of which the Amphitheater was one of the first fruits.

The Plutonion648 viewsThe Gate to the Underworld, next to the Temple of Apollo. Leads to a small cave filled with suffocating carbon dioxide gas. The local priests knew how to find pockets of oxygen, so that they could emerge unscathed, and pretend to be under divine protection.

Walkways648 viewsOriginally the only way to navigate around the Basilica Cistern was by boat. The platforms and walkways were built for the tourist trade, and the Cistern is left mostly empty for the same reason.

Column Fragment648 viewsCapital of a column that supported the roof of the Theodosian Aya Sophia.

Birdbath648 viewsThis exquisite garden fixture appears to be something like a birdbath, but there was no placard to indicate its purpose.

Sanitary Facility Inspection647 viewsConducted by Dr. Patricia Bush, M.D. The latrines featured running water 24/7.
