Was man in Gaziantep sehen sollte

First built by the Romans this castle was a major battle ground during World War I as well as the Turkish War of Independence. The museum showcases this well, even if the talk on national heroes might come off as a little too detailed and boring for non-Turks.…

Opened in 2011, Zeugma Museum hosts stunning mosaics excavated at the nearby Zeugma (50 km east of Gaziantep), a city of antiquity known for its pontoon bridge crossing the Euphrates, and is now submerged under the waters of the Birecik Dam.

Grand old Armenian Church with white stone walls with black checkered edges. The church was converted to Kurtulus Mosque after the Armenian Genocide but architecturally remains nearly intact. Right in the center of the city.

This local archaeological museum, which also has a small cafe inside, is wheelchair accessible.

Interesting museum on traditional Turkish cuisine and tools used for food preparation.
