The Mausoleum At Halicarnassus

Built between 353 and 350 BC, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was the tomb for the Anatolian ruler of Caria, Mausolus, and his wife, Artemisia II. The structure was around 148 ft in height, and each of its sides was decorated with sculptural reliefs created by prominent Greek sculptors. Though the word mausoleum originally refers to the tomb of Mausolus, the word itself became associated with any kind of above-ground tomb.
