Mount Nemrut or Nemrud

(Turkish: Nemrut Dağı; )

is a 2,134-metre-high (7,001 ft) mountain in southeastern Turkey, notable for the summit where a number of large statues are erected around what is assumed to be a royal tomb from the 1st century BC.

It is one of the highest peaks in the east of the Taurus Mountains.
