Gavurtepe Mound
Alaşehir, Manisa
A steep-sided mound on the bank of the Sarıkız Çayı southwest of Alaşehir, commanding the Gediz plain.
Its story
Gavurtepe is a steep mound rising on the west bank of the Sarıkız Çayı on the Gediz plain. Its location is well suited to linking both with the settlements to the west and with the western edges of the Hittite world; roads from the Gediz valley toward Balıkesir and Denizli also pass through here. The hill in the middle of the plain is an important point for understanding the region's prehistoric settlement pattern.
