Tombs in the Cliff

View looking northwest at a cluster of tombs at Myra that are carved into the face of the limestone cliff.

The tomb on the extreme left is actually a free standing tomb that is carved out of the “living rock.”

This necropolis (city of the dead) dates to the fourth century B.C.
