Mount Nemrut
Adiyaman, Turkiye, 50100Upon your arrival at Adıyaman Airport, the tour guide welcomes you and the tour begins with a visit to Mount Nemrut. Nemrut is one of the earliest UNESCO Heritage Sites in Turkey. Mount Nemrut is the mausoleum of Antiochus I (69–34 B.C.), who ruled over Commagene, a kingdom founded north of Syria and the Euphrates River following the dissolution of Alexander's empire. It stands as one of the most ambitious constructions of the Hellenistic period. The syncretism within its pantheon of gods and its kings' lineage, traced through Greek and Persian legends, provide evidence of the dual origins of this kingdom's culture.2 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location2
