Labraunda Built Tomb 3857.jpg

As I was climbing towards the fortress I thought this was a watch tower or such. In fact it turned out to be the side of what’s called the “Built Tomb”. This tomb dates from the 4th century BC. There are five stone coffins inside and the chamber has a false (corbelled) vault. Some Doric architectural blocks from the superstructure are arranged in the slope. The builder is unknown.
