portico columns in the Agora, Ephesus

The commercial Agora in Ephesus dates back to the third century BC, although the ruined portico seen here was built during the reign of the Roman Emperor Caracalla (AD211-217).

 

The agora is a square of 110m (360ft) with a colonnaded portico running along three sides.

 

Ephesus is a ruined ancient city near Selçuk in modern day Turkey.
