The ancient Aliki quarry at Thasos. Though a Greek island in the northern Aegean Sea, the area was once geographically part of Macedonia.
An impressive ancient quarry partially submerged in the sea: The Aliki quarry on the southern shores of the island of Thassos (Greece) symbolises ancient stone work and trade, with the Mediterranean as the connecting link since time immemorial.
It also symbolises how quarrying may shape the landscape over the centuries. A coarse-grained, white calcitic marble, Aliki was a highly prized stone in Antiquity, exported throughout the Eastern Mediterranean to places such as Thessalonica, Delphi, Ostia, Rome, Ephesos, Antioch and Cyrenaica.
Extraction may have started in the 6th Century BC, and it ceased more than a thousand years later in the early 7th Century, perhaps due to an earthquake. The ancient quarrying techniques are well displayed by the bay of Aliki and the nearby shorelines of the island, and the quarries are easily accessible for tourists. (quarryscapes)
On a closer observation, Roman wedge holes as well as marks from picks and chisels can still be seen.

SUBLIME CINEMA #597 - BEFORE THE RAIN
The late, great Katrin Cartridge is most recognizable from Mike Leigh’s films, but here she appears in this Macedonian gem alongside Croatian actor Rade Šerbedžija, a character actor who seems to pop up in most every kind of film, but for never quite long enough. This is probably his best role. He won at Venice for this, and it was Macedonia’s first film to be nominated for an Oscar.
The film touches on cycles of life, violence and social upheaval, with a looping narrative, set against a stark Macedonian landscape.
