The Lycian Rock Tombs are a series of elaborate and ornate tombs cut into cliffs along the coast of what is now the southwestern coast of Turkey. The tombs, believed to date from the 4th century BC to the 2nd century AD, were constructed by the ancient Lycian civilization and served as the final resting places for prominent members of the society.

The rock tombs, some of which are carved into cliffs hundreds of feet above the sea, feature elaborate facades and intricate relief sculptures. The facades often feature columns and pediments, mimicking the architectural styles of traditional Greek and Roman temples. The relief sculptures on the tombs depict scenes from the lives of the deceased, including images of them hunting, feasting, and participating in various other activities.
