Gordion, Archaeological site in Ankara Province, Turkey.

The site contains remnants of residential buildings, defensive structures, and a citadel that formed the capital of ancient Phrygia.

During the 8th century BCE, King Midas ruled from Gordion, making it a central hub for trade between the Aegean and Near East regions.

The excavations at Gordion have revealed the first decorated stone mosaics and the oldest standing wooden building, dating from 740 BCE.

Visitors can explore numerous archaeological features, including 130 monumental burial mounds and a preserved Iron Age Citadel Gate.

The Tumulus MM burial mound reaches 53 meters in height, making it the third largest burial structure of its kind worldwide.
