Gürün

Gürün lies in the Tohma valley south of Sivas, where a river cuts through a narrow rocky gorge before entering the town's valley. Hieroglyphic inscriptions on the rocks at Şuğul recall the ancient peoples who occupied this route. Roads through Gürün connected the highlands around Sivas and Kayseri with Darende and Malatya to the east. Springs and the river water the valley amid the surrounding hills.
