Uzuncaburç, Archaeological site near Silifke, Turkey.
The site features the Temple of Zeus Olbius with two dozen tall columns next to a former Roman colonnaded street north of Silifke.
The settlement transformed from the Hellenistic city of Olba into Diocaesarea during Roman times, gaining autonomy and the right to mint coins.
The Temple of Tyche and numerous sarcophagi display intricate relief carvings that demonstrate the artistic traditions of ancient Roman civilization.
Visitors can explore the archaeological site daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM between April and October, with modified winter hours.
A five-story Hellenistic observation tower rises 22 meters above ground, with a Roman road running behind it through the village.
