About
The Midas Monument, or YazÄąlÄąkaya are the remains of a series of monuments, primarily from the 8th to the 6th century BC. The most impressive is the namesake âMidas Monumentâ, a rendering of a temple entrance carved directly into a rock face in the 7th or 6th century BC. Ornamented with geometric figures. On the top, an inscription in Old Phrygian states itâs dedicated to King Midas. Nearby, a rock outcrop was hollowed out into a Hellenistic tomb on one side, and a Byzantine settlement on the other. Around the site, youâll find other tombs and ancient structures, such as huge Phrygian cisterns that fed a healing stream on the lower terrace.
