Its story

Tepebağ Mound, in Adana's historic center, has been continuously settled since the Early Bronze Age and is considered the city's oldest settlement. It is thought to be in the same area as Adaniya, the Cilician city mentioned in Hittite sources. Excavations ongoing since 2013 have uncovered an Iron Age dagger, an Egyptian seal from the 7th century BC and Assyrian palace pottery. There are plans to develop the site into an archaeological park in the future.
