It's a pity that the national monument came only 40 years later... In Ireland tourists take stones of Celtic crosses and some of them are 1000 years old !!!!. Most of the sites are still free entrance...

pour les personnes qui n'ont pas de toits,c'est un bon refuge

A good photo ...and good info ...Thank you

Must have been like the people left for the day before the tourists spoiled it !~

This place reminded me of Matera!

Excellent capture of the ruins... I like the colors ! Have a lovely weekend :)

An interesting series…

Beautiful shot.

Beautiful shot, love the stones colors and shades. Well done!

A fine shot of these ruins. I like how well you handled the exposure inside and outside of the rock wall. Very well done.

It's unfortunate that protection to this type of ruins be established when there is already a lot of destruction ...
Another interesting view of this great ruins !!!

outstanding capture and composition

These kind of abuses were widespread all over the world in the past. Now it is much less frequent. Nice image of one of those rooms.

geez.. that's why everybody hates tourists.. ;D

ANother nice image of the shapes and textures of these rooms.

Nice exposure, contrast on the stonework. inviting

Strange to think that until fairly recently it was a free-for-all... so many historic sites like that.

I guess it is not allowed to take souvenirs now :)

Nice capture of color, light and texture

beautiful photo. rocks have excellent color and texture. I am glad to be a national monument. A big hug. Alejandra

Fascinating again! I wonder what was in this little room that was interesting enough to pillage?

valuable document ... incredible how insensitive people were in the "old days" ...

A shame that so many details may have been lost.

ok .. who left the ruins behind ????
