Today we will visit Hattusas. This ancient city was the capital of the proud and warlike Hittites from the year 1750 B.C. to the year 1180 B.C. Their empire stretched from the Black Sea to Syria. The visits will include the capital city itself with its gates including the Lions Gate, Kings Gate, the tunnel and citadel and city walls. Lunch will be taken in a regional restaurant. The visits for the afternoon will start with the outdoor shrine of Yazilikaya. This is the site where the bas-reliefs of the gods of the Hittites seem to march across the cliff face.
