  • Arch of Mettius Modestus, built c. 100 AD to celebrate the completion of an aqueduct to bring water to the city, Patara, Antalya, Turkey. This triple-vaulted triumphal arch is composed of 4 massive piers connected by 3 arches. It functioned as the final part of the aqueduct built by Trebonius Proculus Mettius Modestus, governor under the emperor Trajan. It was originally decorated with statues of him and his family on the twelve projecting consoles. In the background we can see the continuing archaeological excavations. Patara was a maritime Greek and Roman city on the South West Mediterranean coast of Lycia near modern-day Gelemis. It was said to be founded by Patarus, son of Apollo, and was famous for its temple and oracle of Apollo. It was a leading city of the Lycian League. Picture by Manuel Cohen

  • Looking through a sculpted arch designed with 22 figures in niches by Hernan Ruiz the Younger, 1514-69, under bishop Don Leopoldo de Austria, 1541-57, into the Villaviciosa Chapel, built under Alfonso X in the 13th century, and through to the mihrab beyond, in the Cathedral-Great Mosque of Cordoba, in Cordoba, Andalusia, Southern Spain. The chapel contains fluted intertwined arches with intricate carved decorative detail. The first church built here by the Visigoths in the 7th century was split in half by the Moors, becoming half church, half mosque. In 784, the Great Mosque of Cordoba was begun in its place and developed over 200 years, but in 1236 it was converted into a catholic church, with a Renaissance cathedral nave built in the 16th century. The historic centre of Cordoba is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
