The Roman Bath in Ankara -2017

The Roman Bath was built in III. Century by the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, the son of Caracalla (212-217) on behalf of Health God Asclepius. After it was built, The Bath had been in use for nearly 500 years and had had restorations from time to time. The historical site where the bath is located was a tumulus and carried the remains of Roman times (partially Byzantine and Seljuk layers) on the top, and of Phrygian times at the bottom. So, with the works between years 1997-2001 The Roman Bath in Ankara has became an Open-Air Museum. The Bath was under restoration in 2017. And this photography project is done to document The Roman Bath after its latest restoration. This series has won 2nd Place in International Photography Awards Non-Professional Architecture, Historic Category in 2017 (IPA 2017).
