Hattusa, the 8,000-year-old capital of the Hittites, blanketed in white

Due to the snowfall, the Hattusa Archaeological Site, which has a history spanning thousands of years, has been blanketed in white.

The site's iconic monuments, the Boğazköy Sphinxes and the Lion Gate, created beautiful scenes with the snowfall.

The Hattusa Archaeological Site is included in the UNESCO "World Cultural Heritage" and "Memory of the World" lists.

SURROUNDED BY CITY WALLS

Located 80 kilometers southwest of Çorum in Boğazkale, the ancient city of Hattusa, which is surrounded by 7 kilometers of walls and covers a settlement area of 2 square kilometers, along with the Yazılıkaya Temple, welcomes visitors with its appearance that changes throughout every season of the year.

The 8,000-year-old ancient city of Hattusa, which served as the capital of the Hittite civilization for approximately 450 years, stands out not only for its historical values but also for its natural beauty, particularly the surrounding Budaközü Valley.
