Boğazkale Alaçahöyük Milli Parkı, Archaeological site and national park in Çorum Province, Turkey

The park spans 2,634 hectares and contains the ruins of Hattusa, the ancient capital of the Hittite Empire, with extensive city walls and gates.

The archaeological remains were discovered in 1834 by Charles Texier, and excavations beginning in 1906 revealed the site as the Hittite capital Hattusa.

The site contains 31 temples, including the Great Temple dedicated to sun and storm deities, with rock carvings depicting gods and mythological creatures.

Located 87 kilometers from Çorum and 200 kilometers from Ankara, the park maintains its natural structure without recreational facilities for visitors.

The site houses one of the largest cuneiform archives globally, including the Kadesh Peace Treaty from 1274 BCE between the Hittite and Egyptian empires.
