Mersin - Mezitli  in Cilicia

 

 

     
 

 

   

In the cultural park of the Mezitli district of the city of Mersin, a temple ruin from the retort was probably erected as a reference to the country's many thousand year old past.

 
   
 
   

As you can easily see from the front base of the column at the joint, the pieces set up here come completely from a casting mould.

 
   
 
   
The temple of Apollon in the pamphlic Side on the Turquoise Coast may have served as a model.  
   
 
As you can see, the figures of the frieze repeat themselves on the architrave
