Guess the ancient city!

Nice of you to respond, Melvadius.

 

Since Clue 2 was "The artists Henri Matisse and Paul Chagal were dying to be there", and Cimiez is the final resting place of both those fine gentlemen, Cimiez is absolutely correct.

 

The amphitheatre is small when compared to that in not-too-distant Arles, but is still a stone construction, and was being extensively renovated during my last visit. I'm hoping to wheedle my way into a job there next season to see how that worked out. Anyway, it is seperate from the museum itself, and publically accesible.

 

The museum itself is OK, though I've seen much better. The excavations are extensive, and well worth a visit - about on a par with Corbridge. Budget cuts are taking their toll though - it is in need of significant reinvestment.

 

Over to you, Melvadius.

Thank you, this site is a lot older than this photograph may otherwise indicate:

This location along with its neighbours has had multiple influences in its development over the last few millenia. It is not Greece although the Greeks were one of those contending for it. B)

No, wrong influence. :no2:

Heading back roughly (but still off line) in the right direction from Turkey. :)

Still too far east. :rolleyes:

Too far east? Hmm, in that case I'd go to Sicily which has a strong Greek heritage. Could this be the San Giovanni church in Erice?
