| Popis: | Goyje Qalʽeh is located in the city of Maragheh, Iran. This article gives a new presentation of a site that is already known in the literature. The site was occupied in various periods, a circumstance, which demonstrates its importance and strategic location. Of particular significance are its outstanding rock-cut features, such as terraces, stairs, rock-cut chambers, and cisterns, and its geographical position—on the border between Urartu and Mannea—was clearly important. Goyje Qalʽeh is compared with other sites known in the area. |
