Karatepe-Aslantaş Open Air Museum

This is the core of a national park, a peninsula in a reservoir lake with extensive Neo-Hittite remains, circa 8th century BC. Karatepe refers to the dark pine-clad hills, and Aslantaş to the lion motifs on the ancient stonework. The main feature is the sturdy fortress walls. Some of the artwork has been gathered indoors but most left where found across the site.
