Known as "Erzurum" or "Arz-u Rum" in Persian, which translates to "The Land of the Romans," this city has a storied past that spans various civilizations.

In Byzantine times, it was known as Theodosiopolis, named after the Roman Emperor Theodosius I.

This photograph, taken circa 1830, captures the timeless beauty of Erzurum during the Ottoman Empire.
