Nemrut is a magnificent historical site located on the eastern Taurus mountain range and inscribed in 1987 on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Situated on the Arsamia antique road, Nemrut, 2206 meters in height, looms over the whole territory encompassing the Firat river crossing and plains. This magnificent tomb has been built upon the order of the Commagene King Antiochus (64-38 BC). You will admire the well preserved massive stone heads, seated statue of Apollo, Fortuna, Zeus, Antiochus and Hercules, altar, reliefs and 50-metre-high cairn of small stones covering King Antiochus's tomb.
The eagle head is one of the the most well-known and intriguing carvings.
