Its story
Euromos is a Carian city about 12 km northwest of Milas, near the village of Selimiye. The city's symbol is the Corinthian temple dedicated to Zeus Lepsynos in the Roman period, most of whose columns are still standing. The blank panels on some columns are interpreted as places where donors' names were to be inscribed but never completed. Among the olive groves are also the remains of the agora, theater and city walls.
