Ancient Village or Settlement in Kahramanmaraş Province, Turkey.

Capital of Neo-Hittite Kingdom of Gurgum from the 12th century BCE to at least 10th century BCE, then later conquered around 800 BCE by the Assyrians. Eventually it became a Roman Colony. The Hittite sculptures found there are displayed in the new Archaeological Museum on the Adana road as well as in Istanbul.

The site is also called Izgin and Elbistan.
