The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus was a grand tomb built for Mausolus, a satrap of the Persian Empire, in the 4th century BCE. Located in the city of Halicarnassus, now known as Bodrum, Turkey, it stood approximately 45 meters tall and was adorned with intricate sculptures and reliefs. This structure was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World due to its impressive design and artistic significance. Constructed by Mausolus's widow, Artemisia, the mausoleum combined elements of Greek, Egyptian, and Lycian architecture. It featured a stepped base, a colonnade, and a pyramid-shaped roof topped with a statue of Mausolus in a chariot. Although the mausoleum was destroyed by a series of earthquakes in the Middle Ages, its legacy continues to influence architecture and art throughout history.
