The '''Mausoleum at Halicarnassus''', one of the [[Seven Wonders of the Ancient World]], is the tomb of King Mausollos of Caria. While the life of Mausollos was unremarkable, his tomb was famous for its numerous sculptures created by the [[Greece|Greek]] sculptors Bryaxis, Leochares, Scopas, and Timotheus, who were each responsible for one side of the Mausoleum. It was destroyed early in the sixteenth century AD by the [[Knights of St John of Malta]] who used the stones of the Mausoleum to build and fortify a castle.<ref>http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/mausoleum.html</ref> | The '''Mausoleum at Halicarnassus''', one of the [[Seven Wonders of the Ancient World]], is the tomb of King Mausollos of Caria.
