classicalmonuments:Lycian TombKastellorizo, Greece4th century BCEDoric orderThis is the only known Lycian tomb in Greece, and as with most of the others on the Turkish mainland, it is not known exactly when, for whom or by whom it was built. Although the decoration has long vanished, the structure is in very good condition. The red colouring in the limestone, caused by iron in the rock, gives the surface an attractive natural patina. The skill of the craftsmen who carved such tombs from the rockface with such precision using primitive tools is very impressive. -- source link
