About Lycian rock tombs and the King’s Tomb
The King’s Tomb, or Kral Mezarı, is a Lycian sarcophagus from the 4th century BC. Its lid has lion’s heads and carved figures of the builder and his wife, and its inscription is in the Lycian language.
Kaş had one of the richest Lycian cemeteries. In 1840 Charles Fellows counted over 100 tombs, but most have since disappeared.
