The ruins of this historic fortress, with its imposing walls, minarets, towers, and domes, have stood the test of time, bearing witness to the rich history and cultural heritage of Van and Turkey. The Urartian Empire, an ancient civilization that existed between the 9th and 6th centuries BC, was known for its military might and advanced engineering skills. The citadel of Van, with its strategic location and formidable defenses, was a key stronghold in the empire's defense against invading forces.
