Mobolla Antik Kenti

To the south of Muğla city center and adjacent to the urban protected area, on the rocky hill known as Masa Dağı or Asar in the northeast of Saburhane Neighborhood, are the remains of the Ancient City of Mobolla and its castle. According to the Muğla Museum Directorate, the oldest known name of the settlement is Mogla (Mώγλα). An inscription dated to the 2nd century BC and found in Muğla leaves no doubt that the name of the city was Mόβολλα (Mobolla).
