The fortress, which played a crucial role in the protection of the inhabitants of the once and most influential city of the Lycian region, has experienced many transformations over its long history. From significant reconstructions in the Byzantine era to the later use of the Knights of the Order of St. John, this place witnessed centuries -old historical events.

Archaeological works are carried out under the guidance of the Main Department of Cultural Heritage and Museums in cooperation with the governorship of Muga, the local district administration, the municipalities of Fethie and the Fethie Museum. Professor Kadir Pektash, who manages the scientific aspects of excavations, said about the detection of the chairman of the statue embedded in the fortress wall.

According to Peck, the chairman of the statue dating from the second century AD is a significant find. He also spoke about the coins found on the site of excavations, including the Turkish-Islamic, Ottoman epochs and the Baileik Mentesh. Scientists believe that the chairman belonged to the statues of Apollo, but further research of the artifact is required to confirm their assumption.

In addition to the chair of the statue, other artifacts, such as cannon cores, household items and ceramics fragments that allow you to understand the historical significance of this place, managed to find during the excavation.
