View of the southern end of Quarry 18 on Taşkesiği hill, Aphrodisias.
This is the southern end of one of largest quarries of the more than seventy individual extraction points which constitute the so-called City Quarries at Aphrodisias, located roughly 2 km north of the city. White and grey marbles were quarried in this area. The squared blocks in the foreground are not ancient but the leftovers of limited quarrying work undertaken in the mid- to late 20th century in this area.
