5. Catalhoyuk Neolithic City
   1h · Admission ticket included
   When a family's life ended, the house was filled with earth and a new one was built on top. The continuous construction of new houses resulted in the formation of a mound that is now 21 meters high. Eighteen building layers have been unearthed on the mound. The building materials used were adobe, wood, and reeds. The roof covering is clay soil compressed over reeds. The houses are unique historical structures, and access to the house is via a ladder through a hole in the roof. Each house consists of one room and a storage area. The rooms contain rectangular hearths. The walls are plastered, painted white, and then decorated with paintings in shades of yellow, red, and black. It appears that original bull, ram, and deer heads were preserved in compressed clay and appliquéd to the walls.

In front of the mihrab, which is decorated with tiles, is a dome of the maksura, also decorated with tiles. The name of the master builder, Muhammed Bin Havlan el-Dımışkî, is inscribed on the main gate.
