one of the Pamphylia region's antique cities. it was a mountain settlement situated 23 km north-east of Side/Antalya. its first name was lybre. from an inscription found in the city, written in side's language, it can be learned that lybre had a long story. on roman coins (30 bc- 395 ad) are shown the holy stone and holy tree old anatolian traditions. this shows that the foundation of the city goes back before hellenistic times (bc 330 - 30 bc)

This is very nice. You are fortunate to get to experience such history. I like the shot, but I find the side wall in the forefront of the photo a bit distracting. I love the view through the opening and I like the glimpse of a view through the bottom opening. Overall, very nice photo.
