The apple of the ancient city's eye: Medusa mosaic reopened to visitors
Prof. Dr. Şükrü Özüdoğru, head of the excavations at the Ancient City of Kibyra in Burdur, announced that the Medusa mosaic, which was closed during the winter, has been reopened to visitors.
Prof. Dr. Şükrü Özüdoğru, head of the excavations at the Ancient City of Kibyra, stated in a post on his social media account, "The Kibyra odeon opus sectile Medusa mosaic and the Odeon stoa opus tessellatum floor mosaic, which were closed during the winter months to protect them from climatic conditions, have been opened and can be visited until the end of November."
ONE OF A KIND IN THE WORLD
Medusa is known in mythology as a 'female monster with snake hair and sharp teeth' who was believed to 'turn ill-intentioned people who looked into her eyes into stone,' dating back to the early stages of the 1st century AD.
The mosaic, which depicts her and was constructed from colored marble using the 'Opus Sectile' technique, has no equal in the world.
