Osmaniye, Administrative center in southern Turkey
Located on the eastern edge of the Çukurova plain, Osmaniye spans 974 square kilometers near the Mediterranean Sea at an elevation of 125 meters.
The region transformed from Cebeli Bereket during Ottoman times to Osmaniye in 1923, gaining provincial status in 1996 after separation from Adana administration.
The Karakucak Wrestling Festival occurs annually in May, representing traditional Turkish sports through competitive matches in the Kadirli district.
The city functions as a processing hub for regional agricultural products including cotton, wheat, corn, soybeans, and particularly peanuts from the Ceyhan river area.
The Karatepe-Aslantas open-air museum contains neo-Hittite artifacts with dual-language inscriptions in both Hittite and Phoenician, preserved in the national park.
