About This Attraction

Bodrum Turkey

The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus in Bodrum, Turkey, is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was built as a tomb for Mausolus, a satrap of the Persian Empire, and his wife Artemisia in the 4th century BC. The structure stood approximately 45 meters tall and was adorned with sculptural reliefs created by four Greek sculptors. Visitors today can see the ruins and surviving pieces of sculptures in the open-air museum that stands on its original site.

While specific Mausoleum at Halicarnassus opening hours may vary by season, it is generally open to the public most days of the week. It is advisable to check local resources for exact visiting hours to ensure you have ample time to explore. The site provides informational displays that give insight into its historical significance and architectural details. This makes it an educational stop for those interested in ancient history and architecture.
