Eflatun Pınar, Ancient spring monument in Beyşehir, Turkey

The Eflatun Pınar monument features a stone pool with a 7.5-meter-high wall decorated with carved reliefs of deities and water spirits.

Built in 1300 BCE during the Hittite Empire, this sacred spring site represents the southwestern boundary of Hittite civilization influence in Anatolia.

The monument displays five mountain gods in the lower section and depicts the storm deity Tarhunna alongside the sun deity Arinniti above them.

The archaeological site includes wooden bridges for visitors and maintains a continuous flow of cold water that collects in a rectangular basin.

Local vendors near the spring sell wool caps regardless of season, connecting to regional traditions about preparing for weather changes.
