| Description | The "Rock House" of Balıktaş has the best example of family life Rock Paintings. The site can be understood as a small nature sanctuary, consisting of a large boulder lying on two others, with the entrance at the south side and a rock bench along the western face. Each cavity has its own picture with different motifs: humans, ornaments and hands. The most fascinating paintings are located in two neighbring cavities near the entrance side, showing as the main motif to the left a couple of a man and woman and to the right a couple of a mother and child, both surrounded by ornaments. |
