Adıyaman ( Kurd. Semsûr ; in ancient times Perrhe or Pordonnium ) is the capital of the Turkish province of Adıyaman . At the same time, the city is the administrative center ( Merkez ) of the district and is home to around 83.7 percent of the district's population. The district, on the other hand, is home to around 48.8 percent of the provincial population.

The history of the city goes back a long way. In ancient times the place was known as Perrhe (Greek: Πέρρη). Perrhe is now in the Örenli district. After the Islamic conquest in the 8th century, the place was called Hisn Mansur (Castle of Mansur). Mansur bin Cavana († 758) was the commander of the Muslims. The current Turkish name Adıyaman has been documented since the 17th century.
