Jutting out into the Aegean Sea, you’ll find the ancient Greek city of Knidos (Cnidus), which dates back around 2,600 years. Excavations in the 19th century revealed that the abandoned city was an important cultural and political center. Today, it is most famous for its commission of the Aphrodite of Knidos statue, considered the first life-size sculpture of a nude female. While the original statue no longer exists, copies can be found in museums around the world, including the Museo Pio-Clementino in Vatican City.
