Someone told me that ancient ruins always look like
ancient ruins, meaning they are photographically boring.
This is the Ancient Greek then Roman city of
Laodicea built by the river Lycus. It's original Greek name was "Diospolis",
The City of God (Zeus). The white hills you see in the distance is
Panukkale. Many of Greek Laodicea's inhabitants were Jews who were relocated to the city around 200 B.C. and the city became an early seat of Christianity.
