View looking west down Curetes Street towards the "Library" – the white two-story structure in the center of the image. On the left, the covered area protects the extensive and magnificent villas found by the Austrians.
The brown area on the horizon of the image is partially the remains of the silted harbor.
The Curetes were high officials of the temple of Artemis and one of their centers was the Prytaneum that was located on this street.
