Roman-era military observation tower
A museum in southeastern Turkey said on Monday they have discovered the remains of a Roman-era military observation tower.
Passers-by in Adiyaman province saw the remains and informed the museum.
A team from the Adiyaman Museum inspected the remains, and determined the towers were five meters high with a diameter of 9 square meters.
The entrance door depicted a sword.
Mehmet Alkan, deputy curator of Adiyaman Museum, said most of the structure remained intact.
Alkan also said they would apply to a cultural assets protection board in neighboring Sanliurfa province to register the tower.
