Acropolis 2

View looking south at Colossae. The mound of Colossae is the dark (burnt) rise in the center of the picture. It had recently been burnt to remove vegetation (late July) when this photo was taken.

Clearly visible in the photo is the citadel of Colossae. On the far (south) side of the mound (not visible) a large lower portion of the mound extends in a southerly direction. The only real visible remain on the mound is the outline of an unexcavated theater.
