The Hurriyet Daily News finally is able to give us a nice overview picture of
the ongoing excavation site that exposes the ancient city walls of Halicarnassus.
In my previous
post, Exploring
the walls of Halicarnassus, I complained about the lack of concrete information. This time, at
least, we have a description about the lay-out of these walls, commencing at
the harbor of modern Bodrum. From
there they ran towards what is known as Kaplan Tower
and the Bardakçi area inside the old Military Camp. It continues to the Myndos Gate
over a distance of 1.5 km,
and via the Gümbet Junction to Göktepe on much higher grounds.
Once this
section is completed, works will start on the eastern side of Halicarnassus. A story that will be
continued, of course.
