It is near Minare Village at a distance of 45 km to Fethiye. In Lichean language, Pinale or Pınara means "round". In accordance with mythology, when the population of Xanthos increased too much, a group of old people left the city and established Pınara City on a round hill at the skirts of Kragos Mountain. The remainders of the city that
could
reach today are the ruins of the rock graves and sarcophagus graves and
buildings such as city walls, bath, theater, agora, Odeon. The city, which has
lived a number of great earthquakes has lost its importance completely after the
8th century AD.
