Karakus Tumulusu

It takes its name from the eagle statue at the entrance of the tumulus. It is a monumental tomb built for female members of the Commagene Kingdom. The mausoleum, decorated with eagle, lion and bull statues placed on three columns, reflects the strong cultural and religious structure of the Commagene Kingdom.

Arsemia Antik Kenti

Arsameia, the summer capital of the Kommagane kingdom, is a very beautiful historical place with two tunnels and statues that still exist, although they are ruined. All the secrets of the Commagene civilization have been revealed from the inscriptions obtained and translated here. The history of Commagene is written here in Greek and moving upwards, there is a relief showing the scene of Mithradathes Kalinikos, the founder of the Kingdom of Commagene, shaking hands with Hercules Harekles. There are two caves, one of which was carved by human hands, is 158 m long and has two rooms spaced at the end with stairs towards it. This area is the burial place of Antiochos' father. The other one is in the form of a large cube room with a crown-covered entrance, and there is not much information about these caves.

Monumental sculptures are spread over the eastern, western and northern terraces. The eastern terrace is the sacred center and therefore the most important sculpture and architectural remains are located here.
