Gaziantep Attractions

 
Western southeast Anatolia

On the east side of the Maras trench (the northern continuation of the Jordan trench between Antakya and Maras) a 500m/1,640ft high step fault in the form of a wall of intrusive rock with a covering layer of Tertiary limes and marls, marks the boundary of the gently undulating Gaziantep plateau. At the center lies Gaziantep itself, the provincial capital and economic hub of the region. Sprawled in the shadow of its mighty fortress crowning an enormous hüyük (settlement mound), Gaziantep is a modern industrial city.
