Goncalı

Major trading center and site of one of the seven churches in Revelation. That church is long gone. The ruins of the remaining building date to the 6th century and after.
The 1st picture is the main street. 2nd looks into the church ruins that are unfortunately closed now. 3rd is a fountain adjacent to the church. 4th is the agora. 5&6 look at a wall at the agora. It is rare to find this much of a painted wall. It gives a sense of how much color was used at the time. I guess all the white we see remaining wasn't just white 2,000 years ago.Read more
