#365 Myndos Gate

Myndos Gate, Bodrum, 🇹🇷 Türkiye

About this Stone

This massive stone gateway once stood as a key defensive point in the ancient city walls built by King Mausolus in the 4th century BC, famously withstanding Alexander the Great's siege of Halicarnassus. Walking through its weathered arches feels like stepping back into history, where battles once raged and civilizations rose and fell. Today, it carries a quieter story too, with a penguin stone now nestled among its timeless stones, adding a playful touch of discovery to this ancient monument.
