Stand where the first temple was built

Göbekli Tepe was raised before pottery, before farming, before the wheel. The app walks you along the boardwalk enclosure by enclosure and tells you what you are actually looking at.

Every enclosure mapped

Enclosures A, B, C and D, with the T-shaped pillars, the carved animals and the finds explained at each.

Works with no signal

Download the whole site before you go — there is not much reception on the ridge.

Built for the visit — everything you need at the enclosures and in the wider region, and nothing you don't.
