Marie-Hélène Cingal posted a photo:

A l'origine, un autel qui a subsisté fut élevé ici par les Sicules au VIII ème siècle av J-C. Au V ème siècle av J-C, il fut transformé en temple dédié à Athéna en l'honneur de la déesse après la victoire à Himeria contre les carthaginois (480 av JC).
Ce temple célèbre dans toute la méditérranée avait des portes rehaussées d'or et d'ivoire, des fresques illustraient les combats contre les carthaginois, et il était surmonté d'une statue d'Athéna en or.

Au VII ème siècle, le temple se retrouve recouvert d'un édifice chrétien. Des murs sont montés entre les colonnes extérieures, huit arcades sont montées dans la cella du temple, donnant sur les deux nefs latérales ainsi obtenues.

Les colonnes doriques sont encore visibles, aussi bien à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur.

Kambos Tholos tomb, Feb 2010 << Spolia from Flickr

5telios posted a photo:

The Tholos Tomb of Kambos in Spring. The tomb was built as a monumental resting place, presumably for the local ruler. Much of the material was re-used for a small tower which was built in recent times.

The tomb is fenced, but is still impressive to visit. It is located a little outside the village of Kambos near Kardamyle (which is mentioned in Homer's Iliad as one of the towns Agamemnon would give to Achilles to ease his anger.

Iznik gates with sculpture, July 2007 << Spolia from Flickr

5telios posted a photo:

Whether these sculpted theatrical masks are original parts of the fortification or spolia from earlier buildings, I don't know. This gate into and out of Iznik is still in use.

The famous double gates of Iznik, or Nikaia as it was known then were not enough to hold out the Seljuks, nor indeed the crusaders who won the city back for Byzantium.

Taken on a Nikkormat EL in July 2007 and scanned negative slightly processed.

Old fortification walls and new illegal slum housing rub shoulders on the castle at Izmir, the old Smyrna. Alexander ordered the castle to be built recognizing the defensive potential of the hill while out hunting. The whole castle has been overrun by migrants from the east who live here among the ruined fortifications.

Taken on a Nikkormat EL with a 24mm lens, negative scanned and slightly 'shopped.
