The archaeological site south of Fethiye village, in the Seyitgazi district of Eskişehir, carries architectural remains showing that there was an ancient settlement immediately nearby.
In the wooded and rocky ground here are monumental rock tombs of the Roman and Byzantine periods, and what they show is continuity: the Phrygian tradition of cutting tombs into rock was carried on by the cultures that followed. The site is reached from Fethiye village, in the Kirka area of Seyitgazi.
