Gerdekkaya is a monumental portico grave. The front imitates the facade of a Doric building. |

The front was restored in 1991. As you can see on the photo, the two columns had to be replaced. |

The Hellenistic tombs were used by the Romans. Byzantine use has been proven for the right-hand burial chamber. The arkosolium on the left and right in the vestibule also dates from this period. |
