Description
Rock Tombs Photograph Fethiye is a photograph of Lycian burial chambers carved into the cliffs overlooking Fethiye. The Lycians believed that their dead were carried to the afterlife by magic winged creatures and thus they placed their honored dead in geographically high places such as the cliffside. Dating back to the 4th century, many of the numerous entryways are adorned with tall Romanesque columns and intricate reliefs.Despite the external grandeur, the interior of the tombs are spare chambers cut into the rock with a simple monolith inside to display the body and the rooms, are otherwise empty from hundreds of years worth of looting. Ideal for lovers of historical architecture, turkish culture and travelers to Turkey.
