Lagina Hekate sanctuary is located within the boundaries of Turgut Town of Yatagan District of Mugla Province.

The temenos of Lagina includes the propylon (monumental gate), the sacred road, the altar (sacrifice and altar), the peribolos (the wall surrounding the sanctuary), the Doric Stoas, and the Hekate temple.

Hekate is a very mysterious, Anatolian, Carian-origin goddess who is not among the 12 gods of Olympos.
