Çatalhöyük, Neolithic archaeological site in Konya Province, Turkey.
The settlement consists of densely packed mud-brick houses built directly adjacent to each other, accessed through openings in their roofs rather than street-level doors.
The settlement emerged around 7500 BCE and remained inhabited until 5700 BCE, representing one of the earliest examples of agricultural communities in human history.
The inhabitants created detailed wall paintings and female figurines inside their homes, demonstrating advanced artistic capabilities during the Neolithic period.
Visitors can access the excavated areas and observe the reconstructed dwellings through elevated walkways that protect the archaeological remains.
Each house contained designated areas for specific activities, with inhabitants burying their dead beneath the floors of their living spaces.
