Tarsus's oldest settlement mound, inhabited from the Neolithic Age to the Roman period.

Its story

The mound was excavated in the 1930s by the American archaeologist Hetty Goldman, and layers from the Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages were documented. Seals and pottery from the Hittite period prove that Tarsus is a city thousands of years old. With excavations recently resumed, the hill is being arranged for visitors.
