Story
In the mountainous landscape of Golhisar, these tombs bearing the traces of the ancient region of Pisidia are silent witnesses that have survived from the Roman period to the present day. Their structures, built of stone blocks and carefully crafted in dry-wall masonry, mostly bear simple geometric shapes. These monuments in the region reflect the burial traditions and social hierarchy of the local noble families; the inscribed fragments frequently encountered among the ceramic finds show the vitality of trade networks and cultural connections. Historians date these tombs to the Hellenistic and Roman periods; the Greek and Latin expressions in the inscriptions attest to the cultural plurality of the region. When visiting Golhisar, prefer the early morning hours - the sunlight highlights the stonework most distinctly, and accompanied by the surrounding remains of the ancient road and the view of the plain, you will feel the historical layers more vividly.
