Miletus. Turkey. View of the 11 metres in diameter round stepped foundation of the one of the two monuments that stood in front of the Old Lions Harbour. Originally dating from around the 3rd century BC, the Great Harbour Monument was added to and enhanced during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The monument that stood here was 7.5 meter high and was decorated with reliefs of Tritons and dolphins above its base. On the top there was a marble tripod set supported by the lions. This tripod is on display in the Museum of Pergamum in Berlin. The ancient Greek city of Miletus is located in western Anatolia on the Aegean coast of Turkey.
