Historical Bey Bath in the ancient city of Beçin will be restored to its former glory

Located in the Milas district of southwestern Turkey’s Muğla, the historical Bey Bath in the ancient city of Beçin will be restored to its former glory.

The bath, one of the few surviving ancient structures in the city, is estimated to be 700 years old.

The ancient city of Beçin served as the capital of the Menteşe Principality (Beylik) and is one of Anatolia’s most important archeological sites. It is currently on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List.

Once the excavation and restoration work is complete it will make a valuable contribution to the country’s tourism industry.

Head of the excavation team, professor Kadir Pektaş told Anadolu Agency (AA) that they have launched an important and comprehensive study of the Bey Bath this year. “We are doing some protective work here. The work is aimed at preventing the spill of plaster-printed ornaments in the hottest room of the bath and their preservation. We will prevent the ongoing spill, caused by centuries of sun and rain,” he added.
