Ruins at Hieropolis This city, now in Turkey, was founded in the 2nd century BC around its hot springs. It was taken into the Roman Empire, and flourished for several hundred years, before becoming a Christian religious center post Constantine. It contains a temple of Apollo, a Roman Necropolis, and the remains of Christian chapels. It also looks like a setting drawn straight from the Lord of the Rings. . . . . #heiropolis #grecoroman #romanruins #pamukkale #greekruins #martyrs #stphillip #visitturkey #destinationearth #travelphotography #travelgram #instatravel #sandiegophotographer #sandiegophoto #neverstopexploring #barrowdowns #hobbit #lordoftherings #abandonedplaces #abandonedphotography #ancientruins #ancientplaces #archaeology #ancientcivilization #romanempire (at Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmqH8B2s59Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
