The Roman Temple at Silifke

I rarely take travel guide books with me. So when I went for a walk from my friends' house in Silifke and came across a Roman Temple, it was a happy surprise.
I had my camera with me and began taking pictures. Soon I had attracted a few of the local children, who were curious about an obviously foreign tourist in their little town.
They asked me the usual questions that people ask tourists: where are you from? what football team do you support? Are you married? and so on. I thought I'd taken pictures of the children, but when I went through my photo's at home, I found none.
Anyway, here are some pictures of the Roman temple:

At the temple was a sign:

The Roman Temple at Silifke
Of the three Roman Temples that once existed in Seleucia, this is the only one which has survived to the present. The temple, which is in the peripteros plan, stands on a podium. The fluted columns and the comun bases in the south are in situ. The temple dates from the 2nd century A.D. but was transformed into a Chirstian basilica in the 5th century.

I walked on a little to look round the town and came upon a cami (mosque) where there was more evidence of the Roman occupation:

The cami appears to have been built using stone mined from the Roman Temple.
