Kayseri, Turkey

Kayseri's cultural and physical geography point the same way: up! Doesn't the minaret seem to mimic the mountain? The city is on the old Silk Road across Anatolia, but the Silk Road simply took over parts of the Sardis-to-Susa Road that formed the spine of the ancient Persian Empire. Yes, the mountain is volcanic: a composite cone. [2007]
