Introduction to Relative Pronouns

The ancient city, which was built over 2,000 years ago, still contains many ruins. The monument that stands in the centre of the square is believed to be the oldest structure. Visitors often admire the sculptures that decorate the buildings, which showcase extraordinary craftsmanship. A guide explained that the city, which had once been a thriving centre of trade, gradually declined after the invasion. The artefacts that are now displayed in the museum were discovered in various excavations across the site.
