The famous tomb built by the architect Pytheos for the king and his wife Arthemisya II, which became one of the seven wonders of an ancient world, is situated just here. Building was started in 355 B.C. and was finished in 340 B.C. Town museum is situated here today.
By the words of an ancient historian Piny, the tomb consisted of four parts: high base with a gallery of 36 columns was placed below, and statues of Mausolos and his wife stayed at the top with 24 ledges. An earthquake destroyed the tomb in 14 century. Stone fragments remained on the place of the tomb were used later by knights-crusaders for building of Bodrum fortress, which exists nowadays. The statues of Mousolos and Arthemisya, which decorated the top of the tomb, together with those found inside, are kept in British Museum now.
