The ruins of ancient Termessus, Turkey

Termessus is one of my favorite ancient ruined cities in Turkey (and the world, for that matter), built by the local Pisidians in classical times. It hasn't been partially reconstructed and "prettied up" like more famous ancient sites, but is in a picturesque (and authentic) ruin. That it's perched on a photogenic steep mountainside helps too. This is one small piece of it.
