Lycaean Tomb

The Lycaean Tomb is the only known Lycian-style tomb in Greece, located on the island of Kastellorizo (Megisti) in the Dodecanese [1]. Dating to the 4th century BC, it features a distinctive facade with carved pillars and a triangular pediment resembling Greek Doric temple architecture [1]. The tomb's exact purpose, builder, and occupant remain unknown [1]. This rare example represents a blend of Lycian and Greek architectural traditions in the eastern Mediterranean [1]. It dates to roughly the period when Alexander the Great conquered Lycia in 334 BC [1].
