This is a variation on a theme of Francesca's "Who am I?" thread. The rules are the same, only in this case it would probably be best if we asked one question at a time :).

It was founded more than 2000 years ago. As for what happened to it, I think there was the odd earthquake, but there was a general slow decline, probably mostly due to the fact that the sea receded. Wikipedia thinks it clung on till the 15th century. :)
One of its buildings was particularly famous.
Asia's a big place.

Not in Russia - no, I don't think anyone's asked that before and since this is me it's worth asking. :)
And no, it's not an island.
Hint: this may be a minor issue... ;)
