Its story
Aigai, built on a high hill about 2 km south of Köseler village, is also popularly known as Nemrut Kale. Herodotus and Strabo count the city among the twelve Aeolian cities. It enjoyed its most brilliant period under the Attalids who ruled Pergamon, and was also known for a sanctuary of Apollo. Remains such as the walls encircling the hill and a multi-story market building show how the city was set into the mountainside.
