Musa Dagh, Mountain summit in Hatay Province, Turkey.
Mount Musa rises 1,355 meters above sea level, forming a prominent peak within the Nur Mountains range along the Mediterranean coast.
The mountain gained recognition in 1915 when Armenian villagers resisted deportation orders, leading to their rescue by French warships after 53 days.
Franz Werfel's novel 'The Forty Days of Musa Dagh' documented the resistance of Armenian villages during World War I through literature.
Hiking paths lead to multiple elevations on the mountain, with the main trail starting from Vakifli village reaching the 997-meter mark.
Vakifli, situated on Musa Dagh's slopes, remains the sole Armenian village in Turkey, preserving its cultural identity through generations.
