Xanthos Archaeological Sitevisitor guide.

Xanthos, today consisting primarily of Lycian and Roman acropolises, preserves the historic Harpy Monument, a 2nd-century theater, a Roman triumphal arch, monumental tomb structures, and Byzantine-era city walls and churches. Xanthos was the capital of the Lycian League and served as an administrative center throughout its history. In 1988, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List alongside Letoon. Archaeological excavations in the ancient city were initiated in 1950 by the French archaeologist Henri Metzger.
