Mausolus, king of Caria (an ancient region of southwestern Asia Minor, in what is now southwestern Turkey) built his mausoleum of white marble . Its size and decoration made it so famous that all large tombs came to be known as mausoleums. The tomb was over 130 ft. high, and contained a basement beneath a collonade of thirty-six columns. The collonade probably supported a pyramid topped with a statue of this king in a chariot. Four famous sculptors carved the decorations. Only a few pieces of the structure remain.
