Gaziantep Highlights

Gaziantep serves as a gateway to Anatolia's ancient civilizations, featuring the Zeugma Mosaic Museum, home to 1,700 square meters of Roman mosaics. The city's center is dominated by the historic Gaziantep Castle, while the surrounding region contains significant Iron Age and Bronze Age sites. Key locations include the Hittite sculpture workshop at Yesemek, the ancient Neo-Hittite capital of Carchemish, and the archaeological mounds of Tilmen Höyük and Zincirli Höyük, which reveal millennia of habitation from the Neolithic to the Crusader periods.
