John PestkaSeptember 20, 2014Beautiful and a must-see. Do not miss the tribute to the U.S.S. Indianapolis and climb the stairs to see the amazing Shrine room.
Andrew FurmanJanuary 6, 2016Based on the design of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus in the Achaemenid Empire (550–330 BC). That empire was also called the First Persian Empire, was founded by Cyrus the Great, in modern day Turkey.
