Parts from monumental tomb (Heroon) of Pericles King of Lycia-Limyra, 4th century BC. Under this king Limyra lived through its most brilliant period, the tomb “belonging to a hero” is located on the Limyra acropolis, erected 350-370 BC, it is in a regional style mixed with Greek effects, including a line of caryatides. I intend to visit it sometime, having failed to do so in 2012. In the museum one sees heavily eroded parts, and a reconstruction of what they once looked like.
