The King’s Gate from the back

Hattuşaş was the capital of the Hittite empire from 2000 to 1180 BC. The site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1986.

The Kralkapi or King’s Gate is the best-preserved city gate at Hattusas. There are two towers on two sides that have both an inner and outer portal. You will find a model of the relief of the Hittite God of War, the original of which is in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara.
