Adıyaman, Administrative center in southeastern Turkey

Located in a valley at 764 meters elevation, Adıyaman extends across mountainous terrain near the Euphrates River and its numerous tributaries.

The settlement, originally named Hisn Mansur, was established by Umayyad Arabs in the 8th century near the ancient Roman city of Perre.

The population of 267,131 residents includes Kurdish communities, contributing to the local traditions and regional agricultural production of cereals and pistachios.

The city connects to other regions through a highway network and an airport that has provided transportation services since 1998.

The caves of Pirin, situated 5 kilometers from the center, contain numerous ancient burial sites with carved structures dating back centuries.
