Tyana Ruins: The Ancient Remains of Tyana are in the small town of Kemerhisar in the Bor district. The remains sit beneath a large area of Kemerhisar town. Important sculpting works found in different occasions in various parts of the town and the artefacts and architectural pieces that have emerged from the systematic excavation of the site are on display in the Niğde Museum. Because of the ancient pool known as the Roman pool found in Bahçeli town and the life giving waters of the aqueducts constructed in the Roman period the town was named Kemerhisar (literally AqueductFort). In the section starting from the Roman pool as far as the inner parts of Kemerhisar the aqueducts are buried. The remaining sections and those that have been excavated thus far are above ground level.    

Kaletepe: It is the Kaletepe Streamlet, located at the foot of Mount Göllü, one of the largest volcanoes of Central Anatolia, at an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters from the sea. The archaeological stratification here contains evidence of different human settlements, the most recent of which date back more than 160 thousand years. Reflecting the evolution of the Acheul culture, this stratification is unique to Anatolia. This open-air find still being excavated is one of the most important Paleolithic settlements in Turkey and the only known find that can answer questions about the first settlement of the Anatolian peninsula. Dating back to 600 thousand years ago, Kaletepe excavation of Obsidian volcanic glass workshop is carried out under the leadership of Niğde Museum under the scientific consultancy of Prof. Dr. Nur Balkan Atlı from Istanbul University.  

Köşk Mound: The Köşk Mound is located on the rocky slope to the east of the Roman pool in the town Bahçeli in Niğde Province,  its first four layers belong to the Late Neolithic Period and the latest layer belongs to the Early Chalcolithic Period. There were architectures in the Neolithic Period consisting small poly-roomed constructions which could be enlarged in case of need. In the Chalcolithic Period the dwellings were located on streets according to a clear plan built adjacent next to one another.  It appears that in this period that the dead were buried under the floors of the dwellings. The importance of Köşk Höyük regarding the custom of burying the dead; many of the adults and some of the children had their heads separated from the body of which the faces were then plastered with clay and the facial features picked out in red paint giving them a striking appearance.  

Göltepe - Kestel Ruins: The Kestel Mining Quarry, which belongs to the Early Bronze Age (3200-2000 B.C.), is within the borders of Celaller Village of Çamardı District, on the foots of Niğde mountains. The mine is opposite Göltepe, a contemporary ore processing workshop and settlement. The mine and galleries system spreads over the area 1.5 km in total, like a roundabout in the mountain. Göltepe, belonging to the Early Bronze Age, is facing to its contemporary, Kestel, a tin mine. Numerous ore enrichment tools were found in the excavations at Göltepe and Kestel Mine. Tin pots with tin slag content showed that a large amount of tin mine was processed in Göltepe.  

Porsuk Mound: Porsuk Mound, which is located within the boundaries of Porsuk Village in Ulukışla District of Niğde Province and also called Zeyve Mound by the local people, is 55 km away from Niğde Province and 9 km from Ulukışla District. It is located 3 km northwest of the Eski Porsuk Village, approximately 500 m southeast of the Ankara-Adana highway. The mound, which contains the Hittite settlement, is predominantly Iron Age and gives a stratification until the Late Roman period. The artifacts found in the excavations are exhibited in the Niğde Museum.

Göllüdağ Ruins: It is in the north direction of the city center of Niğde, 60 km away from the city center. Located close to the village of Kömürcü, Göllüdağ is a sheltered city at a height 2,172 m above sea level. There is a crater lake at the conical summit of Göllüdağ, which is a volcanic mountain. This crater was named as Göllüdağ ("laky mount") due to the lake. One of the late Hittite city states formed in Anatolia after the collapse of the Hittite Empire after the Aegean migrations in 1200 B.C. is Tabal in our region. In this period, Göllüdağ is one of the city states that have a certain place in Tabal country. Göllüdağ is a Late-Hittite city, which was completely surrounded by ramparts from 8th-7th centuries B.C. The orthostated building, which could be a palace and temple, was also surrounded by a second rampart and taken under protection. Between the two ramparts, there is a complex of structures symmetrical to each other. The partial processing of the sculptured works, and being left unprocessed to a great extend, shows that the construction of the city was abandoned before its building completed. However, it is unknown for what reason the people left the city.

Kınık Mound: Kınık Mound is a 300x300 m sized, 20 m high hill with a roughly square shape. The center of the settlement should have been at the top of the mound and on the terrace. However, intense surface surveys around the mound show that there is a large lower city of about 24 hectares. It is understood that the mound was settled from the Early Bronze Age to the Middle Ages; however, stoneware-based surface survey data indicate that the settlement had an important and advanced period, especially in the Iron Age. This is not surprising considering the inscriptions, rock and stone reliefs/steles, which are known in the region and are dated back to the Iron Age. The region and the vicinity of Kınık Mound should have been an important regional center in the Iron Age.
