Gobeklitepe in southeastern Turkey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An Italian tourism delegation was amazed by Gobeklitepe in southeastern Turkey, the site of the world\u2019s oldest temple.<\/h2>\n

Representatives of Italy’s top ten travel agencies have visited and examined the historical site in the southeastern Turkish province of Sanliurfa following from its Culture and Tourism Directorate.<\/p>\n

Bruno Alegi, spokesman of the delegation, told reporters on Friday that the site — built 7,000 years before the oldest Egyptian pyramid — was of great importance.<\/p>\n

“When I first saw, I could not believe. I did not think it would be such beautiful,” Alegi said.<\/p>\n

He said Gobeklitepe deserved to be added permanently to the UNESCO World Heritage List<\/p>\n

Alegi added: “It is really hard to compare Gobeklitepe with other candidate sites.”<\/p>\n

Gobeklitepe is on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is recognized as the oldest temple in the world by many international organizations.<\/p>\n

During preparations for its candidacy, a 4,000-square-meter steel roof was erected to protect the site.<\/p>\n

After being temporarily closed to visits due to work on its new roof, Gobeklitepe partially reopened in February.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
