Mount Hasan (Turkish: Hasan Dağı) is an inactive stratovolcano in Aksaray province Turkey. With an altitude of 3253 m (10672 ft.) it ranks as the second highest mountain of central Anatolia. A caldera 4-5 kilometres wide formed near the current summit around 7500 BC in an eruption recorded in Neolithic paintings.The ancient settlement of Çatalhöyük collected obsidian from the area of Hasan Dağ which they probably traded with other settlements for luxury goods.
