The Rock Tomb-Houses of Evkaya
These tomb-houses are located on the surface of bedrock just south of the city centre. There are totally 8 rock-cut tombs in the area, including three monumental tombs. Each burial chamber, in two of the monumental tombs, contains two deathbeds. In particular the Evkaya tomb-house, after which the area is named, is very intriguing due to its front side with columns, and its pediment with the image of “Potnea Theron” – “The Mistress of Animals”. The tombs were built under the influence of the Phrygian culture at the beginning of the 7th Century BCE and were conceived as an open-air cult site rather than rock-tombs.
