Adana, Metropolitan municipality in south-central Turkey.

The city extends across the Cilician plain along the Seyhan River, surrounded by fertile agricultural land and positioned 35 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea.

Archaeological evidence indicates continuous human settlements in Adana dating back to 6000 BC, with successive civilizations including Hittites, Romans, and Ottomans shaping its development.

The city maintains strong culinary traditions centered around spicy dishes, particularly the Adana kebab prepared with minced lamb meat and red chili peppers.

Transportation within Adana includes a modern metro system, extensive bus networks, and the Çukurova International Airport connecting to domestic and international destinations.

The Taşköprü stone bridge, constructed during the second century, stretches 200 meters across the Seyhan River and remains functional after 1800 years.
