File:Xanthos acropolis 7323.jpg

English: One of some pictures of the area south of the theatre. Only part of the acropolis is covered by a rich house, other parts are in this series too, but remain unidentified. An article from a Brill publication states "This article discusses the material remains of structures on the Lycian Acropolis in Xanthos. They were formerly interpreted as religious monuments, but it is now clear that they derived from a late antique domus. This grand residence was replete with numerous reception suites and courtyards and was accessed from a street leading from the agora. Its rooms were organised around a grand central courtyard, arrayed on five levels, and lavishly decorated with fountains and marble and mosaic floors. Looming over Xanthos, the House of the Lycian Acropolis represented a symbol of power and status, reinforcing an impression that the city of Xanthos flourished during Late Antiquity." From the hill one can have fine views of the village of Kınık, Kaş and the river.
