Malatya

Over the centuries, the Hittites, Assyrians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans ruled and left behind a wealth of magnificent structures. This city’s soil is not only fertile for greens, but also for valleys, and old-fashioned stone architectural examples. The Kudret Pond, Tohma Canyon, Aslantepe Mound, Silahtar Mustafa Pasha Caravanserai, and more can be visited in this imaginary city. In spring, 8 million apricot trees turn the city white, and various other dry fruits and fresh spices can be found in the bazaar.
