Summary
editDescriptionPalmyra Tetrapylon, Syria.jpg |
English: Perhaps the most striking construction at Palmyra in Syria, the Tetrapylon marks the second pivot in the route of the colonnaded street. It consists of a square platform bearing at each corner a tight grouping of four columns. Each of the four groups of pillars supports 150,000kg of solid cornice. A pedestal at the centre of each quartet originally carried a statue.
Only one of the 16 pillars is of the original pink granite (probably brought from Aswan in Egypt); the rest are a result of some rather hasty reconstruction carried out from the 1960s onwards by the Syrian Antiquities Department. From here the main colonnaded street continues northwest, while smaller pillared transverse streets lead southwest to the agora and northeast to the Temple of Baal Shamin.العربية: يعتبر التيترابيلون من أجمل المنشآت في مدينة تدمر الاثرية في سوريا وهو عبارة عن ساحة مربعة توجد في كل زاوية منها مجمعة من أربعة اعمدة وكل مجموعة تتوسطها قاعدة لتمثال.
من بين الأعمدة الست عشرة يوجد عمود أصلي واحد من الجرانيت يُعتقد أنه قد تم جلبه من مدينة أسوان المصرية في حين أن بقية الأعمدة قد تمت إضافتها ضمن أعمال إعادة التأهيل التي قامت بها مديرية الآثار السورية في ستينات القرن العشرين. يمثل التيترابيلون تقاطع شارع الأعمدة الذي يستمر نحو الشمال مع شارع أصغر ذي أعمدة يتجه جنوباً نحو الآغورا وشمالاً باتجاه معبد بعلشمين. |
