Harput Castle (Milk Castle)
Built by the Urartians in the 8th century BCE, the castle is the oldest ruin of Harput survived up to the present day! The reason why Harput Castle (Harput Kalesi) is also called Milk Castle is the rumor that the milk obtained from the animals fed in the vicinity was used instead of water during the preparation of the mortar due to the drought during the construction of the castle. Located on a steep slope, Harput Castle has a fascinating view.
