UNESCO World Heritage Lycian capital — Harpy Tomb, theatre and the religious sanctuary of Letoon.
Xanthos was the historical capital of the Lycian League — destroyed by Persian siege in 545 BC (the residents committed mass suicide rather than surrender), then rebuilt as a Roman provincial centre. The Harpy Tomb pillar, the Inscribed Pillar (longest Lycian text known) and the Roman theatre are the highlights. Combined UNESCO listing with Letoon, 4 km away — the federal sanctuary of the Lycian League with three temples.
