Hattusa, Archaeological site in Boğazkale, Turkey.
The excavation site spans across mountain slopes, rising 300 meters over 2 kilometers between two streambeds in north-central Turkey.
The settlement functioned as the capital of the Hittite Empire from 1650 to 1200 BCE, housing administrative buildings and temples within massive defensive walls.
The site contains thousands of cuneiform tablets that document diplomatic relations, legal codes, and religious ceremonies of the Hittite civilization.
Visitors can explore the remains of granaries capable of storing 2,400 tonnes of grain and five water reservoirs built within the southern walls.
The German Archaeological Institute discovered vast underground structures and complete city fortifications during excavations that began in 1931.
