Its story

Kanlıgeçit Höyüğü (Kanlıgeçit Mound) lies about 300 meters west of Aşağı Pınar, on both sides of the Haydar Dere. Excavations from 1994 onward have uncovered the acropolis, citadel, and upper and lower town sections of an Early Bronze Age settlement. Megaron-type buildings and a monumental gate were identified within a wall enclosing a sacred area. The settlement is regarded as an important example showing Bronze Age relations between Anatolia and the Balkans.
