Between Selçuk and Tire there is a mausoleum, I saw the signs, I forgot the exact word, I think it was Mosoleum or Mosaleum (not the word in the dictionary here). Anyone who knows?

Quoting nautilis:

mozole = mausoleum comes from french word mausolée, means big tomb



No, it was not that word on the brown sign. But when I think of it now it was maybe written wrong. Thanks anyway (Kasia too) for your help.
