As the first rays of sunlight illuminate the colossal stone heads of the ancient gods, the mountain transforms into a magical open-air museum unlike anywhere else in the world.
Built by King Antiochus I of Commagene in the 1st century BC, Mount Nemrut rises to an altitude of 2,206 meters and is home to one of the world's most impressive archaeological sanctuaries. Explore the monumental statues representing Zeus, Apollo, Hercules, Tyche, and King Antiochus himself while learning about the fascinating blend of Greek and Persian cultures that shaped the Kingdom of Commagene.
After sunrise, visit both the East Terrace and West Terrace, where your guide will explain the history, symbolism, and mysteries surrounding the royal tomb and its giant sculptures.
