GhostOfClayton Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Nice of you to respond, Melvadius. Since Clue 2 was "The artists Henri Matisse and Paul Chagal were dying to be there", and Cimiez is the final resting place of both those fine gentlemen, Cimiez is absolutely correct. The amphitheatre is small when compared to that in not-too-distant Arles, but is still a stone construction, and was being extensively renovated during my last visit. I'm hoping to wheedle my way into a job there next season to see how that worked out. Anyway, it is seperate from the museum itself, and publically accesible. The museum itself is OK, though I've seen much better. The excavations are extensive, and well worth a visit - about on a par with Corbridge. Budget cuts are taking their toll though - it is in need of significant reinvestment. Over to you, Melvadius.

Melvadius Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 This location along with its neighbours has had multiple influences in its development over the last few millenia. It is not Greece although the Greeks were one of those contending for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvadius Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Still too far east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Too far east? Hmm, in that case I'd go to Sicily which has a strong Greek heritage. Could this be the San Giovanni church in Erice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
