Bodrum Mausoleum

Mausoleum was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Dimensions were 32 meters by 38 meters and it rose from an area which dimensions were 105 meters by 242,5 meters. Mausoleum was made up of four parts. There was a large platform from which 36 ionic columns rose to form a temple. The roof was shaped like a pyramid with 24 steps and over the roof there was a carriage drawn by four horses. In the carriage were statues of Mausolos and Artemisia. The word "Mausoleum" came to be used in several western languages to mean any important monument or tomb. Today only its foundations are visible.
