Agora colonnade, Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey

South East Colonnade of the Tetragonos Agora, the commercial market square, 3rd century BC, Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey. The agora was altered under Emperor Augustus (27BC-14AD) into a square with three gates in the north, west and south, a central courtyard enclosed on all sides and 2-storey halls with business and administrative offices. After a devastating earthquake in the 4th century AD, the agora was renovated using architectural pieces from throughout Ephesus. Ephesus was an ancient Greek city founded in the 10th century BC, and later a major Roman city, on the Ionian coast near present day Selcuk. Picture by Manuel Cohen
