The Tomb of Payava is a Lycian tall rectangular free-standing barrel-vaulted stone sarcophagus, and one of the most famous tombs of Xanthos. It was built in the Achaemenid Persian Empire, for Payava, who was probably the ruler of Xanthos, Lycia at the time, in around 360 BC. The tomb was discovered in 1838 and brought to England in 1844 by the explorer Sir Charles Fellows. He described it as a 'Gothic-formed Horse Tomb'. According to Melanie Michailidis, though bearing a "Greek appearance", the Tomb of Payava, the Harpy Tomb and the Nereid Monument were built according to the main Zoroastrian criteria "by being composed of thick stone, raised on plinths off the ground, and having single windowless chambers".

  • El Sarcófago de Payava, del siglo IV a. C., fue encontrado en la necrópolis de la ciudad licia de Janto, en la actual Turquía. Fue el arqueólogo inglés Charles Fellows quien halló este sarcófago, que perteneció al príncipe licio Payava, contemporáneo del sátrapa persa Autofradates. Este sarcófago de piedra, imita la caja de madera en la que normalmente se colocaba a los difuntos y está formada por una tumba inferior, un zócalo macizo y el sarcófago propiamente dicho con su tapadera. Reproducía la estructura de la casa licia con vigas de madera y techo esbelto de vertientes combadas. (es)
