In the 1st century a scaled-down replica was built by the Romans in Mylasa which was located on the western edge of the city. There are the relics of Mentes Turks 2 km away from Milas to the south. This area has ruins from the Turkish governors of old Milas like Pecin Kale, Orhan Bey Mosque dating back to 1330, Ulu Cami dating back to 1378 and Firuz Bey Mosque dating back to 1394.
