Mausoleum of Halicarnassus

Uncover the remnants of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World with a guided visit to the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus in Bodrum. Once a monumental tomb built for Mausolus, a Persian satrap of Caria, this archaeological site offers a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur of classical antiquity.Though much of the original structure was destroyed by earthquakes and later used to build Bodrum Castle, the site still features original foundations, columns, and sculptural fragments that hint at its former glory. Your expert guide will bring history to life, telling the story of Mausolus and his wife Artemisia II, who commissioned this architectural masterpiece in the 4th century BC.You’ll learn how this grand tomb—rising over 45 meters with tiered platforms and marble reliefs—became the origin of the word “mausoleum” and influenced funerary architecture across civilizations.

Today, visitors can still see the remains of the imposing city walls, the protective moats, and ancient buried tombs.
