View of a modern block yard in the Bacakale Quarry at Iscehisar.
The Bacakale Quarry is the largest quarry at Iscehisar (ancient Dokimeion) and the focus of modern activity. Both white and coloured marble are extracted here, the latter a white-cream breccia with purple veins (pavonazzetto). In this detail an assemblage of recently-quarried blocks is visible, some of which are still being squared.
