Remains of the ancient city, founded on the slope of the mountain, on the rocks of Latmos, which carries the secrets of millions of years.

Heraclea at Latmus or Heraclea under Latmus, was an ancient town situated at the western foot of Mount Latmus, on the border between Caria and Ionia in southwestern Asia Minor (modern Turkey). The site, now occupied by the modern village of Kapıkırı, stands on the shore of Lake Bafa, which in antiquity was part of the Gulf of Latmus before it was silted up by deposits from the river Maeander. Substantial remains of the city and its fortifications still survive. The castle, which remained from the Romans, was previously used to protect the port. Now in ruins.
