About 14 km southeast of Milas, in Kalınağıl village, there is a temple built with red marble. The temple was built in the name of Sinuri, who was considered "the god who preserves the name of the Carians." Next to the temple is a monumental tomb believed to belong to a priest family. There are two village ruins right next to and north of the temple on the acropolis hill. One of them was called Hiera Kome, meaning Sacred Village. In the place called Lower Kalınağıl, there is a rectangular-based tower made of red marble. Archaeological excavations were conducted in Sinuri's settlement and temple by French archaeologists in 1935.

Sinuri temple, like Labranda, was initially independent but was annexed to Mylasa in the 3rd or 2nd century BC. Sinuri priests were chosen to serve for life. Since the 4th century BC, the priesthood has remained in one family, passing from father to son or brother. In Sinuri, a great festival was held once a year and one or more oxen were sacrificed. The Sinuri deity was depicted holding a double-headed axe. An inscription states that the Carian Satrap Hekatomnos dedicated an altar to the temple. Sinuri was also worshipped in Myllarima besides Mylasa.

The Sinuri temple was converted into a church during the Christian period.
