Palanlı Cave

Palanlı Cave is one of the cave and rock shelter sites around Adıyaman that demonstrate prehistoric human activity. Surface and cave finds in the region reveal the importance of Southeast Anatolia in terms of early human settlements. Unlike the classical route focused on Nemrut and Commagene, it serves as a complementary stop for visitors interested in the Paleolithic period and natural rock formations.
