Sanliurfa's new archaeology museum is a must-do for any history fiends, with an astounding collection of artifacts on display from nearby excavation sites.

 The highlight is the Göbeklitepe exhibits, which showcase Neolithic finds from the site, but exhibits cover the breadth of history in this region right up to the Ottoman era, with plenty of Assyrian and Hittite pieces as well.

Next door, protected under a space-age-style dome covering, is a rich haul of mosaic flooring, part of a Roman villa that was discovered here in 2006.
