The acropolis of Tlos which limits the city’s western border is the settlement center in the Classical Period, of which archeological remnants are dispersed around (Plate 1). The earliest buildings are typified by the dynastic residence complex and the wall surrounding it. The necropolis which spread over the northern and eastern slopes of the acropolis with big and stylistic ruck-cut tombs and sarcophagi began to be formed in the same period. The slopes of the acropolis have turned almost into a cemetery during the Hellenistic period. As a result of the Hellenistic urbanism the city started to construct new buildings and particularly the eastern slope is fulfilled by bouleuterion and prytaneion as well as stadion. Thus, the acropolis became a special part of the city where public buildings and tombs coexisted, and it is continued to be employed with the same buildings in the Roman time without any change.
