In this video, we explore an abandoned Roman quarry with several giant columns, high up on a mountain, near the city of Karistos, in the Euboean region of Greece.
The region was very well known and desired in antiquity for its marbles, which adorned the entire Roman world, from Rome to Constantinople.
Today, the region is known in Greece for the stone, to which it calls “Plaka Karistou”.
The quarry that we filmed had 9 enormous columns, plus some smaller columns and others unfinished.
