A mysterious site famous for Roman-period human reliefs carved into the sheer walls of a canyon.

Safety warning

The path down to the reliefs is steep and on the edge of a cliff; do not descend alone or on slippery ground.

Its story

In rock niches on the slope of the Şeytan Deresi (Devil's Creek) canyon there are about 17 reliefs consisting of figures of warriors, women and families. The figures are thought to be funerary monuments belonging to a necropolis. To reach the reliefs, you need to descend the path on the canyon's edge.
