Erzurum Essentials

Erzurum Province showcases a diverse architectural legacy, from the 13th-century Seljuk tilework of the Twin Minaret Madrasa to 10th-century Georgian Orthodox monasteries like Öşvank and Khakhuli. The regional capital features a medieval citadel and traditional 19th-century dwellings, while the surrounding landscape is defined by the 48-meter Tortum Waterfall and strategic mountain fortifications like Ispir and Oltu. Historical sites also include the Ottoman-era Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque and the 19th-century Aziziye Redoubts, which played a critical role in the Russo-Turkish War.
