Muğla

The city stretches across elevated terrain at 660 meters, situated 30 kilometers from Gökova Bay within a region of mountains and plains.

Muğla evolved from its ancient name Mobolla during the 2nd century BC, passing through Rhodian, Roman, and Byzantine control before Turkish governance.

The Great Mosque and multiple 18th-century caravanserais stand among traditional Turkish houses, displaying the architectural evolution of the settlement.

The region connects to major cities through road networks and maintains agricultural production of citrus fruits, cereals, cotton, tobacco, and grapes.

Archaeological excavations in 2018 revealed a 2300-year-old sepulcher belonging to Diagoras, an ancient Greek boxer, near the city limits.
