Karaboculu Silifke Vr Mersin 5a1
Turkey
It is located 11 km to the north of Silifke. Mostly the gateposts and lintels remained standing in the site. Reliefs of wreaths and clubs are carved on these lintels. The lintel placed on two columns, one square and the other circular, is quite attractive. Rugged-surface, polygonal stone bonding style was preferred in the construction of the buildings. There are two unfinished reliefs of human heads on one of the sarcophagus, and a phallus on another one. Apart from sarcophagi, there are several rock tombs and arcasols. The roof cover of the monument here has collapsed. There is a broken relief of a human face within a frame on a stone that is understood to have fallen down from the pediment of the structure. The interior of the tomb surrounded by sarcophagi is arched. Reliefs of fish, badges, flowers, eagles, lemon etc. are carved on the pediments. It is not possible to infer a certain plan implemented in the structures, because the plan of a structure was re-implemented into another one with major changes. We can see the reliefs carved on bedrock about 2 km north of the settlement. The busts of a male and female standing side by side are wearing local hats, and the craftsmanship of these statues is not a fine one. Another relief is the male figure lying on a kline. The last relief is composed of the busts of a male on the left, a female in between and a child on the right, all carved under an arch. The epitaph placed beneath the relief has been damaged by impact of climatic conditions. It is said that there was a church with triple naves built in here. The place was settled during the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine Periods.
