EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the ancient ruins of the Aspendos Aqueduct in Antalya, Southern Turkey. Located near the Mediterranean coast, this architectural marvel dates back to the Greco-Roman period, during the reign of the Attaleia or Attalia Kingdom, which was part of the larger Seleucid Empire and later the Roman Province of Asia. The Ottoman Empire, which ruled Turkey from the late 13th to the early 20th century, left behind many historical sites, including this impressive aqueduct. The Aspendos Aqueduct was built to transport water from the mountains to the ancient city of Aspendos, supplying its residents with fresh water. The image captures the aqueduct in its pre-excavation state, with lush greenery growing over its arches, adding a touch of serenity and tranquility to the scene. The intricate stonework and the arches, which are still standing tall, testify to the advanced engineering skills of the ancient civilizations. The Aspendos Aqueduct is a significant reminder of Turkey's rich history and cultural heritage. It is a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who are fascinated by the ingenuity and grandeur of ancient waterworks. The Mediterranean coast of Turkey, with its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and historical sites, continues to be a popular destination for travelers seeking adventure, relaxation, and a glimpse into the past.
