Adamkayalar is a location in Mersin Province, Turkey famous for rock carved figures.
Adamkayalar is on the southerm slopes of the Toros Mountains only several kilometers north of the Kızkalesi and Mediterranean coastline at about . Distance to Kızkalesi, the coastline town is 7 kilometres (4.3 mi), to Silifke is 32 kilometres (20 mi) and to Mersin is 66 kilometres (41 mi). Kızkalesi is on the Datça-Mersin highway. To reach Adamkayalar the travellers have to follow an asphalt village road of 5 kilometres (3.1 mi). But the last 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) of the path which detaches from the village road, leads to a gorge named Şeytanderesi and impassable by the motor vehicles.
On the rocks facing the gorge, there are carved figures in 9 niches. These are the figures of 11 males, 4 females and 2 children and 1 ibex. (The name Adamkayalar means Men-rocks) On pediment, there are also the figures of Roman eagles (Aquila). [1] No document exists about the origin of the figures. But these figures are probably from the second century AD.[2]
