Imagine you’re living in a sumptuous Roman villa, in the 2nd century AD, in the city of Zeugma ( close to Gaziantep in South Eastern Turkey ). Imagine the brilliant artists and mosaic makers who would cover the entire floor area of your villa with fabulous mosaics like these. Then, centuries pass, and these villas with all the wealth of their art works get buried. Fast forward to the 20th century when the whole district around Zeugma became a dam creating project to supply water to south eastern Turkey. As the area started to be flooded, archaeologists from all over the world rushed into Turkey to excavate the area as quickly as possible. And fortunately, they were just in time to save these fantastic mosaics for the world. So now, we can all go to the Zeugma Museum in the gorgeous city of Gaziantepe to gaze with wonder on these works. A very moving experience. Do go!

Visited here following recommendations from local colleagues and so pleased I did. I love antiquity and ancient art, ruins etc, and this did not disappoint. It is a huge collection of mosaics and other treasures, mainly from around the 4th Century AD, which have been painstakingly lifted, restored and placed in this large museum.There is a theatre which plays an introductory programme giving a historical account, and this is well worth doing before you start the tour. The 'gypsy girl's' face has been adopted as the symbol of Gaziantep and is available for viewing in a dark windowless room upstairs to preserve it. Overall an incredible place for history buffs, and I could have spent a lot longer there than the 2 hours I had available .

This is the historical market of copper-smith shoppers. Handmade copper kitchenware are produced and sold in this market. This one of the most popular places visited by tourists.
This is a wonderful place to literally go back in time. The craftsmen are conducting their art in their workshop giving a glimpse into their trade (and hard work). You can get everything you need for your household and memorabilia!
