Search this city by topic →Tour the Cendere Bridge and Arsameia
A column is missing at Cendere: the one honouring Geta was removed when his brother Caracalla sought to erase his memory. Count the columns, then find the king shaking hands with Heracles at Arsameia. Compare how power is portrayed and photograph both stops.
Story and sources →Find the eagle that named a royal women's tomb
Karakuş is a funerary monument for women of Commagene's royal family. Its local name comes from the eagle atop the southern column. Follow the visitor path around the mound, spot the eagle and photograph its silhouette against the sky.
Story and sources →Pause in the city whose water drew caravans
Perre was more than rock-cut tombs: historical accounts praised its water, and caravans and armies stopped here to rest. Explore the ancient city in Örenli and look for the Roman fountain. Photograph a detail of this former travellers' stop.
Story and sources →Watch the sunrise on Mount Nemrut
Nemrut's giant statues bring two cultures together: Zeus is combined with the Persian god Oromasdes. While waiting for sunrise, look for this paired name on the information panel. Photograph the statues in the first light, with a kingdom's cultural story in view.
Story and sources →Camp at Mount Nemrut
Camp at Mount Nemrut National Park — and photograph it.
Paraglide at Nemrut Dağı
You launch from a mountain with stone heads on top of it, which is a strange sentence and a stranger sight from the air: the tumulus is a cone of fist-sized broken rock and from above it reads as a bare grey circle. Photograph the summit as you leave it.
