Surely you have heard about the seven ancient wonders of the world, but perhaps the news that you do not know is that in Turkey there are two of these wonders. Today, Marsat Real Estate will take you on a virtual tour to learn about the details of the most famous archaeological sites in Turkey.
1- Mausoleum of Mausolus: This shrine is one of the seven wonders that exist in the world, which creates great curiosity within some in order to see it and get to know it on the ground. It is based in the city of Bodrum, which in turn is a mass of monuments and luxurious archaeological monuments. The thing that made it in the list of the Seven Wonders is that it is hugely striking. This mausoleum was built by the Greeks and they created its unique architectural design and decorated it with luxurious inscriptions, but after its construction it was exposed to an earthquake that destroyed many of its parts, but it remained preserving its aesthetic splendor that fascinates the eye.
What is the general structure of the Mausoleum of Mausolus in Turkey?
It is a huge building that takes the shape of a rectangle, its height is forty-five meters, and it is divided into three sections. The lower one contains a huge hall of white marble. The second part includes sixty-three columns distributed over all parts of the building. In turn, these columns carry the roof of the mausoleum, which takes a hierarchical shape. At its top is a beautiful chariot with four horses in it. From the outside, the shrine is surrounded by a number of statues embodying the figures of several deities that take the form of a warrior. Among the details that belong to it there is a staircase made of marble. Its golden base also has several narrow corridors that lead to the treasures and antiques room. It is important to know that this mausoleum houses the remains of Queen Artemisia and her husband.
2- Temple of Artemis: This temple is named after the goddess of health and sports, the twin sister of Apollo. This temple is located in the city of Ephesus. In the past, the temple was a huge and wonderful place for people to take as a place of worship. Despite all the circumstances that the country has been exposed to over the years and the disasters that occurred and led to a change in the features of this temple, it managed to maintain its aesthetic splendor.
The most important sculptures in the Temple of Artemis:
One of the most prominent sculptures in this temple is the statue of the standing woman, as this statue purifies the creativity of her drawing with her distinctive stance and dress, as she was wearing a long skirt and there is a wreath of flowers on her neck and on her head is a hat. It is believed that the Temple of Artemis took a lot of time to complete its construction, but according to many archaeologists and museums experts, the time it took is not completely clear, and the unfortunate thing is that in a certain period of time many of its valuables were stolen.
