- Abstract
The article concerns a multifunctional openair meeting rock-cut structure in the Myra Acropolis. The structure with a capacity of at least 130 people was excavated and discovered by us in 2017. The concrete architectural equivalent of various religious and/or dead ceremonies and other possible social meetings that we know existed in Classical Period life, with its ceremonial area and tribune and its niched platform on the east, was given for the first time with this building. This open-air meeting space must have been built within the scope of other construction activities in the IVth century BC, which is the period when the rock-cut tombs were generally built and represents the brightest period of the Classical Age of Myra. With this discovery, while adding another architectural type to the Lycian settlement organization and architecture, we also contribute to the understanding of the Lycian social life lived in the Dynastic residences.
