9 May - the amazing ancient Greek and Roman town of Empuries

We cycled about 8km to visit this. This is an aerial view of the site photographed from an information board. It only shows the ancient Greek part. The Roman site is behind this and on a much bigger scale.
Greek water filters.
A Greek statue.


Another Greek God!!

Roman mosaic floors



The main entrance through the Roman walls - see the ruts of the chariot wheels on the floor and a phallic symbol on one of the blocks to the right of the entrance symbolising strength and prosperity.
