Kayseri, Historic city in Central Anatolia, Turkey
Kayseri sits at the base of Mount Erciyes, a 3,916-meter dormant volcano that shapes the local landscape and climate at 1,050 meters elevation.
The settlement evolved from ancient Mazaca to Caesarea during Roman times, later becoming a center of trade between Assyrians and Hittites around 2000 BCE.
The Hunat Hatun Complex from 1238 contains a mosque, madrasa, bathhouse, and tomb, representing the architectural achievements of the Seljuk period.
Erkilet International Airport connects the city with domestic and international destinations, while an efficient public transport network includes buses and trams.
The Kayseri Archaeological Museum displays the Hercules Sarcophagus from 150-160 AD, depicting the Twelve Labors of Hercules in detailed stone carvings.
