Çatalkaya

The Phrygian settlement takes its name from the rock described as Kes Kaya or Çatalkaya, rising on a low hill. The Phrygians carved and smoothed the rock and opened a vertical, deep groove in its middle. To the east of this rock, on another rock mass called Sivri Kaya/Uzun Kaya, there is also a small Phrygian rock monument.
