Aerial view of a castle in a field with a dirt road

The central part of Ornek features a distinct quadrangular platform with an almost square shape, oriented vertically to align with the cardinal directions. At the corners and along the perimeter of the walls, small hills can be observed, marking the locations where towers once stood. Inside the walls, on the hillside’s surface, one can see small oval bumps, while at the center, there are three interconnected round pits forming water bodies. The diameter of one pit measures 15 meters, while the other two are 30 meters in size. Such cities were often established along the caravan tracks, eventually evolving into thriving hubs of crafts and trade. They were strategically positioned near rulers’ domains, in fertile valleys, and at convenient locations. During the excavations, archaeologists made remarkable discoveries, shedding light on the city’s rich history. Remnants of artisan workshops and imposing fortifications hint at the presence of a powerful nomadic ruler. Alongside these, a mosque, a mausoleum, barracks-like structures, residential houses, and a Muslim necropolis came to light, painting a vivid picture of life in ancient Ornek,
