Kybele Rock relief<br />

Sarnıç<br />

Cistern<br />

There is Cybele embossing with a height of 1,5 m on the rock block within a 1 km distance from<br />

the canyon. Across the embossing, the Goddess deemed to be facing to the castle on the high rocks and<br />

sitting on a throne holds a young lion in her left hand. Cybele embossing in<br />

İncesu canyon, is the biggest Cybele embossing dating back to the Hellenistic Period in Anatolia.<br />

İncesu Canyon, in addition to hosting lots of historical and natural beauties, provides a natural<br />

habitat for many plants and animals. There are species of plants and animals which are special to the<br />

region. The ecosystem of the canyon developed in relation to the structure of the river water. Some rarely<br />

found species of Anatolia under the threat of extinction still have a habitat to live in the canyon.<br />
