ARSAMEIA
At
ancient Eskikale (Arsameia of Nymphaios) a magnificent
relief depicts Heracles greeting the Commagene King,
Mithridates, in the ruins of what scholars believe
might have been the Commagene Palace. Opposite this
site, separated by the Eski Kahta river are the
remains of the Yenikale (New Castle) built by the
Mamelouks. Other nearby sights include the Roman
bridge at Cendere and another Commagene royal tumulus,
Karakus.
