Tomb of Amyntas, Rock-cut tomb in Fethiye, Turkey.

The large tomb features an Ionic temple facade carved into the mountainside, with two columns between pilasters and a triangular pediment above.

Dating from the 4th century BC, this Lycian tomb was created for Amyntas, son of Hermapias, as indicated by inscriptions on its walls.

The architectural design reflects Hellenistic influences on Lycian burial practices, combining Greek temple elements with local rock-cutting traditions.

Located on the southern slope overlooking Fethiye, visitors need to climb approximately 200 steps to reach the entrance of the tomb.

French explorer Charles Texier etched his name in the upper left corner of the monument during his visit in the 1850s.
