The tomb, built from finely carved stone blocks, consists of a 5.20-meter-long covered dromos, an antechamber, and a burial chamber.

    Çanakkale, which translates as "fortress of potters," became known for its pottery craft. Its strategic location on the shore of the Dardanelles Strait earned it the name "Gateway to the Aegean Coast" — according to legend, this is where Alexander the Great crossed, followed centuries later by the conquering army of the Ottomans.
