I didn't actually know what the structure was at first and did not know the spelling of the village it is located in but with the help of some friendly people the picture is in fact a Lycian tomb and it is located in a village called Uçagiz (Ulagiz).
I drew this for a friend of mine.

The art is great, but have never heard of Eulogies or Ulages, I have been going to Turkey now for over 10 years 2-3 times a year I have even looked as far as Greece and Cyprus for you
When I asked my friend what the place was called in Turkey, she said it was Eulogies/Ulages. Then said it was on an island and the village was called that.
I looked on the map and couldn’t find it either.
But she has got a painting of this structure back in the days above her fireplace.
I wanted to find out the name of this structure/monument and also find out the spelling of this village too :).
Hi Matt, the only other place I can think of is Ephesus, full of ruins and architecture that was Temple of Artemis which was recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, I may be going of the beaten track now but still worth a visit if you are ever there
I had a little browse on the net at Ephesus and Temple of Artemis... it's not that.
I don't know how you spell the name of the village but it sounds like you-la-jees.
Kind of like Ulysses but with a la-jees :).
Hi Matt, this is a wonderful drawing with lots of detail so is very impressive, I thought that it might be the ruins at Ephesus, not that it matters. 😊
I found out from Kai that the structure/monument was in fact a Lycian tomb/sarcophagus but I didn't know where abouts it was. I mean, I knew of the place but could not find it.
A village called Eulogies or You-la-gees, don't know how you spell it.
But the link you posted I think tells me the answer Uçagiz.
The 'C' has a little '5' underneath. French words with this 'c' or'ç' is pronounced like "th".
I'm assuming as the 'ç' in Uçagiz is pronounced like an 'L'.
I was also thinking that because the village name Uçagiz has the ‘ç’ in it that sounds like a ‘th’ in some French terms like provençale (proventhale), maybe my friend was wrong when she pronounced the Turkish village as Ulagiz and it’s actually Uthagiz?
Your drawing is beautiful. I also thought of Ephesus - but of course it could be somewhere else - as you said, it's hard to know exactly where it is - and you mentioned an island village. I hope you are having a great weekend.
Well, what a treat. Great drawing Matt. I just had an interesting wander round some of the pics of Lycian Tombs on the internet. As you say, these tombs are nothing like Ephesus. But do put Ephesus on your must-do list. I remember the morning I was there and the first view of the Library of Celsius against a perfectly clear blue sky, just like all the illustrations in the text books. Stunning. Sheila
