Southern Citadel at Hattusa

data access 24115

The southern castle consists of the remains of the wall of a Phrygian fortification. The site is known, however, because of a chamber excavated underneath with an inscription in Luwian hieroglyphics, which is one of the latest documents from the time of the Hittite Empire.
