Pinara, Ancient Lycian city in Muğla Province, Turkey
Located at Mount Cragus foot near Xanthos River, Pinara extends across upper and lower acropolis levels with numerous rock-cut tombs in the cliffs.
The city joined the Lycian League with three votes, surrendered to Alexander the Great in 334 BCE, and later became part of the Roman Empire.
The archaeological remains include Greek and Lycian inscriptions, temples, theaters, an odeon, and hundreds of house-shaped tombs carved into rock faces.
The archaeological site stands 40 kilometers from Fethiye, accessible through a 2-kilometer road from Minare village in Muğla Province.
A notable rock tomb displays relief carvings of a walled city on its pediment, potentially depicting Pinara during its time as a major port.
