Mausoleum of Halicarnassus

Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, Tomb of Mausolus, Halikarnas Mozolesi
Turkey, Bodrum
Tombstone of the Carian ruler Mausolus, built in the middle of the 4th century BC. e. by order of his wife Artemisia II in Halicarnassus, one of the ancient wonders of the world. The architecture of the Mausoleum is unusual for the Greek architecture of that time: if the classical Hellenic temples are rectangular in plan and their height does not exceed the length of the facade, then the Mausoleum is almost square in plan, and its height significantly exceeded the side of the base.
The mausoleum stood for 19 centuries. In the XIII century, it collapsed from a strong earthquake, and in 1522 the remains of the Mausoleum were dismantled by the Knights of St. John for the construction of the fortress of St. Peter.
