Limyra Ancient City, which is approximately 25 km from the Finike district of Antalya, is located on the borders of Turunçova and Sahilkent towns. Founded at the foot of a 1,216-meter high hill, the city maintained its importance for many years due to its fertile soils and geographical location.
The most active time of the city, which has evidence of settlement since the 5th century BC, is the period of Lycian King Perikle in the 4th century BC. During the reign of the king, who endeavored to establish the Lycian Union and expand his sovereignty, it is understood that Persian sovereignty existed, but this sovereignty remained symbolic and Limyra acted freely like other cities. The city, which experienced bright times in the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D. after Perikle, was rebuilt even though earthquakes destroyed it. Limyra, which was a bishopric center during the Byzantine rule, was abandoned after the Arab raids in the 8th and 9th centuries AD.
Limyra Ancient City Excavations have been going on since 1970 and the ancient ruins of different civilizations in the city have shed light on the history of the region and have brought very important finds to the Antalya Museum. Significant examples of monumental architecture, castles, fortifications, cisterns and Byzantine churches are only a small part of the ruins in the ancient city. Limyra, which has more than 400 rock tombs, is one of the cities with the most rock tombs in the Lycian Region. Most of the tombs are known by name with their inscriptions written in Lycian. Their large number shows the size and population density of the city. Limyra Ancient City The acropolis in the north of the city consists of an inner castle and a lower castle. In the part where the acropolis reaches the plain, there is the theater building, originally belonging to the Hellenistic Period, which underwent a major repair in 141 AD. Beyond the theater are the city walls, hillside houses, cisterns, rock tombs, a church, the Xatabura Mausoleum and the Heron of Perikle. The mausoleum of King Perikle is important for its similarity to the style of the Nereidler Monument in Xanthos Antique City and its important pieces are exhibited in the Antalya Museum. At the bottom of the road, there is a huge column head. An important structure in this section is the monumental tomb of Gaius Caesar, the spiritual son of Emperor Augustus, built in 4 AD. In the east of the city, there is a colonnaded street and a bath complex. There are spring waters in the section where the stream flows in the middle of the colonnaded street.
