Destination
Böğürtlen Balkayası
The Phrygian Rock Monument is carved into the steep face of the high rock mass south of Böğürtlen Village, also called Balkayası. It symbolizes the front facade of a structure with a gabled roof and triangular pediment. In the middle, there is a shallow rectangular niche symbolizing a door. Unlike the known Phrygian monuments of the same type, the geometric decorations on the pediment and facade were made with dark red paint.
