Imbriogion (Demircili)

There are six mausoleums along the road from Seleucia on the coast to Diocaesarea, a Hellenistic-Roman city in southern Turkey. The photos show three of them:

• The Lower Mausoleum (left); it measures 5¼x4¼x6¼; the two columns that once supported the roof, have collapsed; close to it are several rock tombs.
• The Twin Mausolea (center):
  • The one to the left measures 5x5x6 meter and has some nice Corinthian columns.
  • The one to the right, with the two storeys, measures 4x4x7½ meter; in this tomb, the sarcophagi of the deceased were found.
• The Upper Mausoleum (right) measures 4½x4x7½m and has two storeys.

These tombs date back to the Roman age and have some oriental influences.
