KAHRAMANMARAS
In
the 12th century B.C., Kahramanmaras was the capital
of the Hittite state of Gurgum. A massive citadel
built in the 2nd century B.C. houses the city's museum
and its good collection of Hittite sculptures. Other
sites include the 15th century Ulu Mosque and the Tas
Medrese. The ice-cream of Kahramanmaras, thickened
with gum arabic and beaten with a wooden paddle, is
known throughout Turkey. |
