Colosso di Rodi

Description

Il Colosso di Rodi era un'enorme statua di bronzo del dio solare Elio, situata probabilmente nel porto di Rodi in Grecia nel III secolo a.C. È una delle cosiddette sette meraviglie del mondo antico.

Secondo studi contemporanei il colosso non si sarebbe trovato all'accesso del porto, come porta di ingresso per le navi, ma era collocato su un pilastro all'interno di quella che è conosciuta come città vecchia o acropoli di Rodi , in posizione sopraelevata sulla collinetta subito antistante al porto, in modo che fungesse da faro.
