About this audio guide
This guide to Miniatürk in Istanbul begins with a tomb so famous that its owner's name became an everyday word. You'll meet Mausolus, the Persian-ruled governor of Caria, his sister and wife Artemisia, and the Greek architects who built at Halicarnassus, today's Bodrum. Along the way come earthquakes, crusader knights and a set of carved slabs that ended up far from home. Best heard standing in front of the model itself.
