Tlos - Mugla The ancient writer Panyasis introduces Tlos, Pınara, Xanthos and Kragos, all cities in the Xanthos valley, except Kragos, as the children of Praxidike and Tremile, a nymphe. Tlos is the same city as Dlawa in the lands of Lukka in the Hittite texts in the 14th century BC, Tlawa in the Lycian inscriptions in the later period, and the city of Tlos in the Greek texts, and that its foundation is in the II. It is considered to have gone up to thousands. When approaching the city, the dominant view of the acropolis greatly affects the visitors. The surrounding of the acropolis hill, which is naturally sheltered by steep slopes, has been fortified with fortifications from place to place. The early period city walls and rock tombs in the north-east direction of the acropolis are examples of Lycian culture. The fortification walls, which are mostly observed in the eastern and south-eastern parts, were built in the Roman period and were repaired in the Byzantine period using the materials of many buildings and even some sarcophagi. The Late Period structures built with spolia stones at the top are the walls of a brain settlement commissioned by the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century. The ruins mentioned above are interesting in that they exhibit the cultural phases of the acropolis hill simultaneously in a narrow space. On the eastern slope of the acropolis, there is a stadium where crepis can be counted up to 12 rows of seats that continue parallel to the city walls in the area that forms the support of the carefully worked Roman period city walls. The building groups observed across the stadium belong to the Roman Period and must belong to the agora and its sections, although their functions cannot be clearly expressed today. The remains we observed in the southern part of this area belong to the gymnasion, palestra and bath structures. On the east of the site, there is a theater from the Roman Period, mostly built on vaulted galleries. The stage building of the theater with a single diazoma survived up to the third floor of the northern section. The Lycian inscription blocks in the northern paradox must have been used as spolia at the time of expansion or repair. To the south of the stadium, at a point overlooking the Xanthos valley, there is a three-storey bathhouse built during the Roman period.
