Gaziantep, Metropolitan municipality in southeastern Turkey
Gaziantep stretches across the Mediterranean and Southeastern Anatolia regions, with an elevation of 850 meters and a population exceeding 2 million inhabitants.
The settlement evolved from ancient Antiochia ad Taurum through multiple empires including Byzantine, Umayyad, and Seljuk before receiving its current name after the 1921 resistance.
The Zeugma Mosaic Museum displays an extensive collection of Roman-era mosaics while the Yesemek Open Air Museum contains numerous ancient stone sculptures.
The central location between Adana and Aleppo makes Gaziantep accessible through its international airport, railway network, and modern light rail system.
The city received UNESCO recognition as a City of Gastronomy in 2015, with protected designation of origin status for its baklava production.
