Majri o: Myra Necropolis Rock Tombs
Myra was one of the six most important cities of ancient Lycia (Xanthos, Patara, Olympos, Pinara, Tlos, and Myra) and eventually was made the capital of the Roman province of Lycia. As a result of Arab raids, earthquakes, and the flooding of the Myrros stream, the city became largely abandoned.
The ruins of the ancient city of Myra consist of an impressive necropolis and adjacent Roman theatre and are located at about 1.5 km north of present day Kale - Demre. The well preserved Roman theatre of Myra is large with 35 consecutive rows of seats. The facade of the amphitheatre was richly decorated with theatrical masks and mythological scenes. To the west of the theatre the steep cliff is honeycombed with closely packed tombs, most of them of the Lycian house-type.
The ancient city of Sura, whose ruins are located 5 km beyond Demre, was important for its fish-oracle of Apollo. There are only a few remains left, the most prominent being a monumental Lycian pilar-tomb dating from the 4th century BC. The tomb was intended for family burial, the owner was placed in the pillar tomb and his family in the chamber underneath.
Andriace, the port of Myra, was founded as a sister-town at about the same time as Myra. It is located in Çayagzi, at about 5 km of the city centre of Demre at the mouth of the Androkos river. Andriace was one of the most important ports of Lycia and it was the port where St. Paul and his companions Luke and Aristarchos changed ships on their way to Rome. The most important ruin in Andriace is the Granarium or Granary of Hadrian. This impressive and well preserved 65x32 meter building was erected during the reign of Emperor Hadrianus (117-138).
Ostatak materijala o Myra gradu u Turskoj ćeš Majrić moći sutra pročitati navečer u postu na mom blogu.hr. Dana obećanja kad tad uzvršim. Pošto imam problema sa postavljanjem slike sutra ćeš ih vidjet na blogu ili večeras kad dođem kući jednu ili dvije tu na logu.
