Doliche village and its neighbourhood is located 11 kilometres north of Gaziantep have witnessed all major houses of humankind history and have caused their traces to reach up to today. It is almost open-air museum by means of stone tools used by people who had lived 30-40 thousand years ago, of Mithras underground temple, splendid rock graves, stone quarries from which giant rock blocks are produced.
Doliche, which used to be holly cities since the era of Hittites lost its position of being a religious centre upon the fact that archbishopric was moved to Zeugma in 7th century. Ayıntap, which was a new city, was established around Gaziantep castle since such a date started to replace Doliche city and finally it became a village reporting to Ayıntap. Doliche holly area moved its holly area identity up to our modern day by means of Dülükbaba (Doliche Father) tomb.
