EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the circa 1930s, showcases the breathtakingly preserved front of the ancient Aspendos Theatre in Antalya, Southern Turkey. Located on the stunning Mediterranean coast, Aspendos or Aspendus was an ancient Greco-Roman city, once known as Attaleia or Attalia, which flourished under the rule of the Attalid Dynasty of Pergamon and later the Roman Empire. The theatre, a marvel of ancient architecture, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. Its well-preserved stone walls and intricate carvings have withstood the test of time, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the ancient world. The theatre could accommodate up to 15,000 spectators and is renowned for its excellent acoustics, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. The Ottoman Empire ruled over this region for several centuries before the Turkish Republic was established in 1923. Despite the passage of time and various empires, the Aspendos Theatre remains a significant historical site, attracting visitors from all corners of the globe. Its enduring beauty and historical significance make it a must-see destination for anyone traveling to Turkey's southern coast. This photograph, with its timeless quality, transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a bygone era. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape Turkey's identity and captivate the hearts and minds of travelers from around the world.
