Gaziantep Province, Administrative province in southeastern Turkey.

The province extends across 6,803 square kilometers of land between the Mediterranean and Southeastern Anatolia regions, bordering Syria in the south.

The region transformed from ancient Antep to Gaziantep in 1921, receiving the prefix 'gazi' after its population resisted French occupation during the Turkish War of Independence.

The province maintains its position as Turkey's center for pistachio cultivation, with agricultural traditions deeply embedded in local farming practices across multiple districts.

Nine administrative districts form the province, with the capital Gaziantep city serving as a major manufacturing and commercial center connecting Turkey to Middle Eastern markets.

The Yesemek Open Air Museum in Islahiye District contains the Near East's largest ancient sculpture workshop, featuring Hittite-era stone carvings from 1375 BC.
