Ardahan is one of the provinces situated in the easternmost part of Turkiye. Ardahan Castle, considered one of the most important historical structures in Ardahan, was visited by 78,000 people this year.

The castle, which has been standing tall for centuries, last underwent restoration in 1544. Believed to have been built during the Urartian period and restored during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent—giving it its current form—Ardahan Castle is recognized as one of the city’s symbols due to its position along the Kura River.
