Nemrut Dağ
The mausoleum of Antiochus I (69-34 BC) is one of the most magnificent buildings of the Hellenistic period. Antiochus I ruled the Kingdom of Commagene, which was established in Syria and north of the Euphrates River after the disintegration of Alexander's empire. The mausoleum of Antiochus I is one of the most magnificent buildings of the Hellenistic period. The fusion of its pantheon and the fact that the kings' lineage can be traced through two sets of legends, Greek and Persian, attest to the dual origins of the kingdom's culture.
Medieval Town of Toruń
Toruń has its origins in the Teutonic Knights, who built a castle here in the middle of the 13th century as a base for their conquests and the spread of the gospel of Prussia. Soon it developed into a commercial city as part of the Hanseatic League. In both the Old Town and the New Town, many magnificent public and private buildings from the 14th and 15th centuries, including Copernicus's House, bear witness to Toruń's importance.
