The archaeological site of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, built around 350 BC as the monumental tomb for Mausolus, ruler of Caria, and his sister-wife Artemisia II. Reaching 45 metres in height, its grandeur originated the term 'mausoleum'. Today, this open-air sanctuary preserves the colossal stepped foundation stones, underground burial chambers, and scale models illustrating its original architectural splendour.
