The most impressive sarcophagus, called Kral Mezari ( King's Tomb) by the locals, is located on the street called Uzuncarsi Caddesi.

It dates from the 4th century B.C and is carved from a single block with eight lines of script in the Lycian language.

The inscription has not been deciphered to date. The lid of the sarcophagus contains four lion heads, two on each side.
