Kahramanmaraş

Kahramanmaraş has served as a cultural crossroads within southern Anatolia since antiquity. The provincial capital lies below Ahir Mountain, while the wider province reaches from rugged uplands into the Ceyhan River basin. Known as Germanicia in the Roman period, the city developed at the meeting point of routes linking Anatolia with the eastern Mediterranean and Mesopotamia. Its best-known culinary tradition is Maraş dondurması, the chewy local ice cream made with salep. The February 2023 earthquakes profoundly affected the area, and reconstruction remains part of its present-day story. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Kahramanmaraş.
