Cnidus
An Aegean city celebrated for housing the most famous statue of Aphrodite in the ancient world, by the sculptor Praxiteles.
The Cnidian Aphrodite was the first monumental nude female statue in Western art — Praxiteles' creation effectively invented a tradition that lasted two and a half millennia.
