A legendAccording to a popular legend there were two struggling families one in Tarsus and the other in Silifke. The families made peace and the daughter of the Tarsus family and the son of the Silifke family got married. But after the bride’s brother died because of natural causes in Silifke, the head of the Silifke family travelled to Tarsus to give the bad news. However, before reaching to Tarsus he met with the head of the Tarsus family on the spot where the monument is. The monument was erected by the sad father.[3] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book |page=30 |url=http://issuu.com/eforweb/docs/mersin?e=1003590/2886104 |title=Mersin: Ören Yerleri, Kaleleri, Müzeleri |isbn=978-605-4196-07-4 |publisher=Ekin Grubu (2007, first edition); İl Özel İdaresi (2009 edition) |location=Istanbul |oclc=805652523 |language=Turkish |editor1-first=Osman |editor1-last=Arik |editor2-first=Mehmet |editor2-last=Çalışkan |editor3-first=Ayşe |editor3-last=Aydın |editor4-first=Ümit |editor4-last=Aydınoğlu |editor5-first=Filiz |editor5-last=Kerem |others=Prepared by Filiz Kerem; Photographs by Selami Türk; Graphic design by Tanrtim Sanatlari |id=ISBN (invalid as printed in first edition) 975-585-787-9 |trans-title=Mersin: Oren Places, Castles, Museums |edition=First |date=2009 |origyear=2007 |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6Q5Aq020C?url=http://issuu.com/eforweb/docs/mersin?e=1003590%2F2886104 |archivedate=June 4, 2014 |deadurl=no |df= }} {{Mersin Province}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Dikilitas, Mersin}}2. ^Yumuktepe page (by Şahin Özkan) 3. ^Legend page {{tr icon}} 3 : Tourist attractions in Mersin|Archaeological sites in Mersin Province, Turkey|Obelisks in Turkey |
