Dantooine: Arch

1180 5761, elevation 22. A decorated arch and passageway overlooking a lake. The arch and columns correspond to the Jedi Temple Ruins. The statue on top of the arch is similar to statues in the Jedi Temple Ruins and confirms that this architectural style matches that of the builders of the Ruins - and thus confirms that the Jedi Order used several locales in the planet for various purposes.

Four columns, broken at the top, flank the arch. The arch is oriented 270° W.

Beyond its archeological value, this site is truly stunning for the view it offers. Speculations about the finality of this structure remain, yet the absence of a closed wall structure strongly suggest that this place was of visitation.
