Adıyaman (Template:Lang-ku) is a city and district in southeastern Turkey, and the capital of the Adıyaman Province. The inhabitants of the city are mostly Kurdish.

Etymology

An unverified theory is that the former name of the city Hisn-Mansur derives from the name of the Umayyad Emir Mansur ben Djawana who was killed by Al-Mansur in 758. Because of the difficulty among the locals in pronouncing Hisn-Mansur, the corruption Semsur emerged.

Various unverifiable theories exist for the name.

Places of interest

There is some passing tourist trade, the main tourist attraction being Mount Nemrut.

• The caves of Pirin (ancient city of Perre) are 5 km (3 mi). from Adiyaman. These have been used as a burial ground for thousands of years. The sights include the ruins of the city and burial caves carved into the rock.
• The only active church in Adiyaman Province is located here, where it is the center of the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal vicarate of Adiyaman. It was renovated and reopened in 2012.
