In the Örenli neighborhood of Adıyaman Central, above the ancient ruins located at the upper part of the (Pirin) Roman fountain—where modern village houses once stood—these houses were removed, and subsequent excavations revealed a town square constructed from blocks of stone of various sizes. Additionally, gutters for draining rainwater and wastewater into the sewer system, column drums, capital columns, and architectural fragments from a church were discovered here.1
Large-scale land expropriation and demolition for the excavation work took place in 2020, after which excavations within the village began; landscaping and restoration work continued until 2025.
