Perre (Perrhe) – Adıyaman, Türkiye

Perre, one of the Commagene cities, lies on the Adıyaman–Malatya route. A vast rock-cut necropolis with chamber tombs and relief façades dominates the site; cisterns and water channels reveal its role as a way-station. Finds of inscriptions and coins show occupation through Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods. Nearby mosaics and church remains indicate late antique continuity.
