In historical records there is not much information about the early periods of this city. The ruins in the neighbourhood clearly reveals that tit was a prominent settlement during the Roman period. In Lycian cities it is observed that the walls are erected by numerous uncut stones. The stones used for the walls are put together side by side, leaving no slace in between and without using mortar. These walls are named as Cyclop Walls.
