Located in Adıyaman province of Turkey, Mount Nemrut has been a major theme of legends since ancient times, and it is an important tourism destination today for those who are interested in mountaineering, historical tourism and nature exploration. The ancient Kingdom of Komagene, which ruled here around the 1^stcentury BC, built huge statues on Mount Nemrut, which still preserve their mysteries. Nemrut, a volcanic mountain, was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1987 as both a natural monument and a manmade historical artifact.
