Üç Kümbetler (“Three Tombs”):
The cluster of three tomb towers known as Üç Kümbetler (“Three Tombs”) is located just south of the city center of modern Erzurum. In the medieval period, the tombs would have lay outside the city walls not far from Tabriz Kapısı (Tabriz Gate). The largest tomb, locally referred to as the Tomb of Emir Saltuk, is tentatively dated to the late twelfth century/sixth century AH. Based on stylistic comparisons, scholars date the other two tombs that are unmarked and unnamed to the fourteenth century/eighth century AH.
All three tomb towers are based on the same type of plan: a cylindrical or polygonal shaft with a conical roofs. The Tomb of Emir Saltuk is distinguished by its octagonal plan with sides rising to a short gable under its roof, which is squatter than the others. The other two tombs have cylindrical bodies decorated with a series of blind arches and conical roofs.
Erzurum Castle,Erzurum Kalesi:
Erzurum Castle, locally known as Erzurum Kalesi, lies on top of the hill in the center of the city of the same name, in the province of Erzurum in Turkey.
The first fortification at this site was probably built in Urartian times. Throughout history Erzurum changed hands frequently between the Assyrians, the Sassanids, Persians, Arabs, Romans and Byzantines. The present castle however was built in 415 AD under the Byzantine Emperor Theodosius II.
In the 11th century Erzurum Castle came into the possession of the Saltukids. Under the Saltukid Bey Muzaffer Gazi (1124-1132), the Tepsi Minaret was built in the south west corner of the inner castle. Somewhat later, in the mid-12th century, the Saltukids also built the still remaining Mescid, which is a kind of chapel, in the inner castle.
Erzurum Castle was seriously devastated in almost every period of conquest but was rebuilt and restored every time by the new rulers. One of the last rebuilding phases took place in the 16th century by the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.
After Erzurum Castle lost its military function it was used for storage. In the mid-19th century stones of some sections were taken down to be used in the repair of some of the 18th century bastions in the hills around the city. Also in the 19th century, the upper part of the Tepsi Minaret collapsed. It was rebuilt in its present appearance with a clock. Hence its present name Saat Kulesi, meaning Clock Tower.Connected to the former town walls, Erzurum Castle protected the north east corner of the town's defenses. It was equipped with 8 towers made out of calcareous stone. At present the castle consists of an inner castle and an outer courtyard. The thickness of its walls measure 2-2.5 meters. The town walls with its gates and towers has almost completely disappeared, except from a piece of wall, some 90 meters long, with 3 towers, directly south east of the castle.
Erzurum Castle can be visited for a small fee. A nice castle although there is not that much to see inside. But you can climb to the top of the clock tower for some splendid views over the city.

Erzurum Kalesi (Castle of Erzurum Drone Footage )

İlk inşa tarihi kesin olarak bilinmeyen Erzurum Kalesi’nin M.S. 5. yüzyılın ilk yarısında Bizanslılar tarafından yaptırıldığı tahmin edilmektedir.

Tarih boyunca Assurlular, Sasaniler, Persler, Araplar, Romalılar ve Bizanslılar arasında sık sık el değiştiren Erzurum Kalesi, 11. yüzyılda Türklerin eline geçmiştir.

İç kalede Erzurum’daki ilk Türk-İslam eserlerinden Saltukoğulları dönemine ait Kale Mescidi ve Tepsi Minare bulunmaktadır. Erzurum Kalesi, bulunduğu tepenin üzerinde bir iç kale ile bunu çevreleyen dış kaleden oluşmaktadır. Bugün iç kale sağlam kalmış olmasına rağmen, şehri çevreleyen dış kale surları yok olmuştur. Günümüze ulaşan iç kalenin duvar kalınlıkları 2-2.5 m. arasında değişmekte olup, halen sekiz burcu ayakta durmaktadır

Erzurum/Turkey:
Erzurum is a city in eastern Anatolia (Asian Turkey). It is the largest city in and eponymous capital of Erzurum Province. It is situated 1757 meters (5766 feet) above sea level. Erzurum had a population of 361,235 in the 2000 census, increasing to 367,250 by 2010.As Ancient Theodosiopolis in Armenia (or - in Cappadocia), the former bishopric remains a Latin Catholic titular see.
Erzurum, known as The Rock in NATO code, served as NATO's southeastern-most air force post during the Cold War. The city uses the double-headed Anatolian Seljuk Eagle as its coat-of-arms, a motif that was a common symbol throughout Anatolia and the Balkans in the medieval period.Erzurum has some of the finest winter sports facilities in Turkey and hosted the 2011 Winter Universiade.
One of the largest source of income and economic activity in the city has been Atatürk University. Established in 1950, it is one of the largest universities in Turkey, having more than forty-thousand students. Tourism also provides a portion of the province's revenues. The city is a popular destination in Turkey for winter sports at the nearby Palandöken Mountain.
Erzurum is notable for the small-scale production of objects crafted from Oltu stone: most are sold as souvenirs and include prayer beads, bracelets, necklaces, brooches, earrings and hairclips.
For now, Erzurum is the ending point of the South Caucasus Pipeline, also called the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum (BTE) pipeline. Erzurum will also be the starting point of the planned Nabucco pipeline which will carry natural gas from the Caspian Sea basin to the European Union member states. The intergovernmental agreement between Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Austria to build the Nabucco pipeline was signed by five Prime Ministers on 13 July 2009 in Ankara. The European Union was represented at the ceremony by the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso and the Commissioner for Energy Andris Piebalgs, while the United States was represented by the Special Envoy for Eurasian Energy Richard Morningstar and the Ranking Member of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Senator Richard Lugar.
Little of medieval Erzurum survives beyond scattered individual buildings such as the citadel fortress, and the 13th century Çifte Minareli Medrese (the Twin Minaret madrasa). Visitors may also wish to visit the Çobandede Bridge, which dates back to late 13th century.
Six kilometres to the south of the center of Erzurum is an important skiing center on the Palandöken Mountain range. There are several ski runs; the south ski run is 8 km long, while the north ski run is intended for advanced skiers. The summit of Mt. Palandöken, which is called Büyük Ejder (Great Dragon), is at an altitude of 3188 metres. It can be reached with a chair lift which rises to an altitude of 3100 metres.Wikipedia

Turkey Erzurum

Erzurum, a predominantly Armenian city during Ottoman days, is in the northeast interior of Anatolia and has the reputation of being the coldest city during Turkey's winters. Its residents tend to be even more conservative and religious than other provincial towns. Throughout Turkey, the muezzin's call to prayer five times a day is a delightful reminder of the Moslem tradition. In Erzurum, there are so many muezzins competing with each other that the sound is a cacophony. Scenes taken in 2004 include the Rustem Paşa Kervansaray (a medieval han, now a jewelers market), the Çifte Minareli Medrese (a medrese is a religious school) built by the Seljuks in the 13th Century, the Ulu Camii (Great Mosque) built in 1179, the citadel built by the Byzantines in the 5th Century that commands the surrounding plains, and the Yakutiye Medrese (built 1310), now a local museum.
