Attractions Bodrum - Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
An enormous white marble tomb was built to hold the remains of Mausolus, a king from the Persian Empire, and his Mrs. Greek architects designed the 135 foot tall tomb, and famous Grecian sculpxors added an ornamental frieze outside. Word spread though the ancient world and the word ‘mausoleum’ came to represent any equally ostentatious tomb. It’s not standing now thanks to an earthquake in the 15 century, but it’s worth a trip to see the remains of this, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
