The Colossus of Rhodes - Rhodes Town, Greece

http://davidsbeenhere.com David's Been Here brings us to the most famous non-existent site in Rhodes, Greece. The Colossus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was a monument built to commemorate the victory of Rhodes over the ruler of Cyprus. Towering at 95 feet or 30 meters, it was the tallest statue on earth during its time. Brought down by an earthquake in the year 226 BC, the Colossus was destroyed but certainly not forgotten. Visit the site where the Colossus once stood and tour all the best sites of Rhodes with the David's Been Here Guide to Greece, now available for your Kindle as well.
