The Colonnaded Street Review

After walking through the royal tombs of Petra Ancient City, you can see an open area, which is the ruins of the Roman period. The 6-meter-wide stone pillar street is the central axis of the new city. Now it is basically a broken wall, but you can also see the stone road of Banshu. On the platform on the left side of Shizhu Street, you can see the Great Temple. It’s so comfortable to sit and rest in the sun, but unfortunately a local vendor has been pestering and selling stones.

Stone pillar street is a bit like column street in ancient Roman ruins, many ancient buildings of different civilizations have similar places. Now only the missing arches and mottled stone roads are still preserved, making people think of the busy times of the year. Today, Bedouin riding horses and outdated, can remind people of that ancient time.

The Nabatians paved a 6-meter-wide street with stones on both sides of the street, with one or two floors. After the Romans occupied Petra, they added pillars on both sides of the street, so Petra Street is now called "Stone Street." Today, buildings and stone pillars are ruined walls, and Banshuo's stone roads continue to be civilizations for thousands of years.

This path here is estimated to be repaired by later people, it should have been a stone road before, the buildings on both sides of the street have no longer existed, it is a stone, it was a commercial street.

In fact, it is difficult to imagine that these sites are already a commercial street, with some shops on both sides, and now it is a bare stone path, which feels average. nothing.
