Petra, Renaissance Tomb

data access 31549

The Renaissance Tomb built in the second century AD. On the facade are cut rinto the rock six Nabatean jars crowns by a gable with three urns in it. Tomb is called so  because the archivolt with an urn on top evokes such elements of the Italian Renaissance architecture
