Gaziantep

Get to know Gaziantep

Close to Turkey’s southern border lies a city of staggering age and history, seeping with myth. Gaziantep Castle’s crumbling walls reflect millennia of resistance, detailed in the sculptures and collections of the Panorama Museum that resides within. From the Zeugma Museum’s troves of mosaics to famous regional specialities including Bakircilar Carsisi’s copper-ware, pistachios and lahmacun, Gaziantep exudes strength and a battle-hardened resolve that drives its reputation for gastronomy and trade.
