Büklükale

Turkey

Büklükale is an archaeological site located in Kırıkkale province, central Turkey near the town of Karakeçili. It is located about 50 km northwest from yet another important archaeological site of Kaman-Kalehöyük. The site is about 30 hectares in area. During the Middle Bronze Age, Buklukale became a part of the Hittite Empire. The location of Büklükale is significant because it is situated on the west bank at the narrowest point of the Kızılırmak River and served as an important crossing point through the ages. There is a Seljuk (13th century A.D) bridge there, and the remains of a Roman bridge.
