The presence of geometric and floral motifs on mosaics - made with colored stones - drew the most attention. Excavations in the region are ongoing.
In the ancient city, one of the most important cities of the Caria region, the settlement of the Carians and Leleges, the indigenous people of Anatolia, maintained its importance during the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Anatolian principalities, Ottoman and Republican periods.
The artifacts found there are meticulously preserved, and efforts are being made to bring them into tourism.
