Ruins of the Temple of Leto at Letoon

Place

Letoon

Ancient Lycia

The federal sanctuary of the Lycian League, founded in the 6th century BC and dedicated to Leto and her children Apollo and Artemis. Three temples stand beside a spring-fed pool, and a trilingual inscription found here — Lycian, Greek and Aramaic — helped decipher the lost Lycian language. Listed with Xanthos on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1988.
