Hello photography lovers. Today I will tell you about the Hercules relief found in an ancient quarry in Nicea.
If you look carefully, you can see Hrcules pictured leaning against a column.
It is thought that the relief of Heracles was made in an ancient quarry in the Hisardere village of Nicea, about 2000 years ago, both for the protection of the workers working there and for their religious worship.

However, a treasure hunter attack is organized almost every day for this relief. Greedy treasure hunters think there is a treasure under the relief and break it.
So I took a souvenir photo with Hercules and asked him the following question: Are you older or am I? 😁
He was bigger.
This is how the quarry looks like.
Since the quarry is at a high place, the sunset view from here also looks very beautiful.
I recommend those who visit Nicea to stop by here as well.
I hope you will like it😊
