Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

Fascinating place. A good bit to see mostly ruins. The exhibition hall is good showing big detailed pieces with carvings on. There is a video to watch inside which detailed the whole story and history of the mausoleum, which I'm glad I watched. It would of been some site when it was around. A must to see in Bodrum. Entrance was only 3 euros. Well worth it. You are free to explore the whole site

The history books are generous when they say 'only very little remains of this ancient wonder.' This site will appeal to those really interested in Ancient History and those who want to tick off the 7 Ancient Wonders off their bucket list. An excellent model helps the visitor imagine the epic scale of the monument and there's good information panels explaining the history and appearance of it too. Since so very little remains we also get to see the ruins of an even older tomb on the site and this could present future opportunities for the site to grow and evolve.

A wonderful place for anyone who loves ancient history and architecture. Among the ruins and in the small museum you can see many fascinating details: fragments of massive columns, intricately carved stones with floral patterns, and old relief slabs depicting human figures. There is also a scale model of the famous Mausoleum at Halicarnassus—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—which helps you imagine how the monumental structure once looked. The atmosphere is calm, with plenty of shaded areas, making it easy to stroll around and take in the details. A great spot for a leisurely walk and for immersing yourself in ancient culture. The dream came true i'm here Aleks recommends 👍❗️

Historic place of (once) one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Not much is left but enough to get a good impression.

The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is a fascinating site rich in history and mystery. Though only ruins remain today, the scale and artistry of the original structure are still evident. Informative signs and preserved sculptures give insight into its grandeur and the legacy of King Mausolus. It's a must visit for history lovers in Bodrum, powerful, atmospheric, and a striking reminder of ancient architectural genius.

Beneath the soft shade of garden trees, the ruins of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus whisper of lost splendor — carved stones and broken columns all that remain of a wonder built to defy time itself 💫

It is interesting only if you are a big lover of history, otherwise you may be disappointed. Entrance is 3 eur , and the mausoleum is not existing, it is only ruins. For me it was interesting, I love history very much!

Sad ruins of an Antique Wonder destroyed by earthquake and then dismantled to build other place and especially the castle. If you want to visit it, visit it before the Castle and the try to find some of the pieces in the walls of the castle...

I didn't research Bodrum at all before we arrived, so I was pretty impressed when the tour company representative mentioned one of the seven wonders of the ancient world being in Bodrum. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus is well worth a visit if you're in the town, even just to say you've been and check out some rocks. Pretty much it's just a site of rubble, but you can't really complain - it was built in 350 BC. It's really easy to get to if you're in town, perhaps a 10 minute walk from the water taxi drop off. It's a simple site - just pay your 10 lira (£3) entrance fee and head in. The site is all laid out in front of you and it's a nice place for a walk around, you can go down right in to the base of it. There is an exhibition to the side with some explanatory panels and a TV room if you want to watch a presentation about it. There's seats too if you need to take a break (it gets very, very hot in the sun) and a toilet block. My favourite part about this is that the Mausoleum influenced the building of the Shrine of Remembrance in my home town, Melbourne. There's also some of the artwork from the Mausoleum at the British Museum if you fancy seeing more of it!

The ruins of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Worth a visit but no high expectations. Some former knowledge of the Mausoleion's history is required.

It's one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. A Must see! At least as a location because most of the artifacts were either taken to museums such as the British Museum where they have a special exhibition room called the Mausoleum of Halikarnas or the ancient stones were used to build Bodrum Castle by the Knights of St. John. (After an earthquake destroyed the Mausoleum) Muze Kart is recommended.
