Audio tour · Gaziantep Castle

You're standing at Gaziantep Castle, right on top of a mound in the middle of the city. Take a good look at that mound. It's not a natural hill but a man-made one, and people have used this spot for a very long time. The Hittites already kept watch from up here. From this height, they could see exactly who was coming.
