THE TEMPLE OF APOLLON : The two temples which were built next to each other within a Peripteros plan were situated in the Southern end of the peninsula Side. The one in the East belonged to Apollon and the one in the west to Athena. During the period of Paxromana, the Goddess of Anatolia, Kybele and The God of Moon, Men were purified and sanctified with The Head Gods of Side, Apollon and Athena and this was why the people of Side built those two splendid temples. The temple which was built for the God Apollon, who had been sanctified as The God of light, beauty and art had a rectangular plan with the dimensions of 17x30 m. On top of it there are columns with Korenth heads. 8,90 m. high and a row of 6x11. The cloumns around the temple had bases with holes in the middle on stylobat : and this shows us that there were pieces of iron underneath on which the columns were situated.
THE TEMPLE OF ATHENA : This temple was built next to the Temple of Apollon in the form of a peripheros plan with the dimensions 20x35 m. It is a little bigger than the Temple of Apollon and has columns similar to it. The block on the columns attracts attention with its decorative reliefs.
THE HARBOUR OF SIDE : That the harbour was at the south of the peninsula was very important for Side which was a maritine business center. The harbour was surrounded by a breakwater made of konglemerat stones.
THE HARBOUR BATH :During the period of Paxromana, with the growth of trade Bath was built behind The Harbour in order to cover the need.

Hi gurkan

A superb catch of the ruins. The golden light illuminating the columns, contrasts well, against the blue sky. Looks like an earthquake hit here, centuries ago? Tfs!

Hi Gurkan,

Superb capture.
Fine tones.
Magical moods.

Hi Gurkan,

Excellent shot, I like the composition here, the piller against the blue sky, nice details and lighting, they are very clever even the "rubbish bin" (I presume, the one on the right hand side next to the rocks) they have make it very attractive. :P


Have a great weekend,

Cheers,
Sweety

Hi Gurkan,

Very nice capture of this famous temple. Seems very old but still strong. Also very nice composition to define the sea as a freedom at the background of history & monarchy. Good shot at the time of sunset. TFS!

hi Gurkan

Very sharp and clearly defined pillars standing up against the softness of the sky behind. I like the strong light falling on the pillars, stones to bring out details. Good shot.

Bonjour Gurkan
Ces colonnes de couleur chaude sont en parfait accord avec ce ciel bien nuancé et d'un très esthétique.
Une très belle réalisation.
Bonne fin de journée.
Amicalement

A great photo of old architectural remains. At first I wasn't sure that I like the inclusion of the people in the picture, but I think it provides a nice perspective of the relative size of these ruins.
Very nice - lighting is lovely & soft.
