Beçin, Medieval fortification in Milas, Turkey
The archaeological site spans across a low hill, featuring ancient walls, towers, and remnants of residential structures from multiple historical periods.
The fortification gained prominence in the late 13th century when the Menteşe Beylik established it as their capital, constructing numerous public buildings.
The Ahmed Gazi Madrasa, constructed in 1375, displays a fusion of Seljuk and early European Gothic architectural elements through its stone carvings.
The ruins can be explored through marked pathways, with informational signs guiding visitors through the residential quarter and public buildings.
Archaeological excavations have uncovered a 5000-year-old stargazer idol head and a gold coin from Persian ruler Darius I's reign.
