The ancient city of Seleucia ad Calycadnum extended on the slopes of the fortified hill. The banks and estuary of Göksu have been inhabited since the early Bronze Age. According to the latest archaeological research, the earliest settlement discovered can be equated with the Hittite ura, which dates back to the 13th century BC. In 712 BC the Assyrian king Sargon II fortified the ura for the first time. |
