Uzuncaburç, Roman Road - 7 September 2020

    The road came as a great surprise to me. Prior to my arrival in Diocaeserea I knew nothing about its existence. I walked a few hundred meters on the solid stone surface. I didn't go to the beginning of the road, but I marched alongside the necropolis of Olba, finally reaching the small theatre you can see below. I have nothing but the admiration for the Roman builders.
