The Hellenistic mausoleum located 14 km NE of Ephesus ranks as the second largest and highest tomb in ancient Asia Minor.  The two-storey structure consists of  Doric-style crepidoma and an upper level representing the Corinthian architecture. The base of the ground level has an almost exact square surface of about 29,70 m sidelength. The center of crepidoma cut  into an existing, naturally occurring limestone.The sarcophagus itself nowadays is in the museum of Selçuk, together with two lions and some  parts of the decoration are in the Archaeological Museum Izmir.
