What are the Features of the Double Minaret Madrasa?
The Double Minaret Madrasa is a Seljuk work that has become the symbol of Erzurum. It is generally accepted that it was built at the end of the 13th century. It is also known as the Hatuniye Madrasa, as it may have been built by Hundi Hatun, the daughter of the Seljuk Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat, or by Sultan Hatun from the Ilkhanid Dynastie
The madrasah, measuring approximately 35x46 meters, is the most important example of the group of madrasas with two floors, four iwans and an open courtyard. Its courtyard, measuring 26x10 meters, is surrounded by porticoes on four sides. Student and teacher rooms are lined up on both sides of the courtyard.
The decorations, especially on the crown gate of the Double Minaret Madrasa, are magnificent examples of the depth and aesthetic understanding of the Seljuk stone decoration. Herbal elements were mainly used in the decorations. While palmette and rumi motifs are mostly used, the harmony of both draws attention.
The history of the first bastions built in Erzurum dates back to the Ottoman-Persian war in the 18th century. However, the biggest bastions were built from the beginning of the 19th century to protect the city from the Russian raids and invasions in Eastern Anatolia. The number of these strategic buildings, which were built on the hills with high visibility around the city, reaches 22.
These bastions, which include headquarters buildings, military shelters, training grounds, dining halls, cisterns, ambush rooms; sometimes a single, sometimes a combination of several large structures. The most important bastions of varying sizes and locations are the Mecidiye and Aziziye bastions, located just east of the city. While all of the bastions were built of stone, solidity and usage principles were emphasized rather than architectural style. The bastions, consisting of adjacent rooms, were covered with a thick layer of soil. On the other side of the direction where the enemy will come, there are sections such as the meeting courtyards of the soldiers, the warehouse, the infirmary
Rüstem Pasha Caravanserai, also known as Taşhan, was built in 1561 by the grand vizier of Suleiman the Magnificent,
Rüstem Pasha. The building is one of the masterpieces of Ottoman caravanserai architecture.This is the place where all kinds of needs of passengers are met day and night. In the Rüstem Pasha Caravanserai, an almshouse,a prayer room, a resting place, grocer shops, sections where camels, donkeys, oxen, buffaloes and horses were tied were built. However, some of them have not survived
It is noteworthy that in the inscription on the cradle-vaulted entrance door facing west, Erzurum is called "ribat" because it is a frontier city. Ribats are a kind of outpost buildings in which there are about 40-50 raider units in order to protect the borders. With the expansion of the borders of the Ottoman Empire to Tbilisi and the Caspian Sea over time, the features of mansions, shelters, barns and shopping centers were brought here.
Erzurum is a city where you can experience different excitements and find different beauties in every season. Tortum Waterfall, one of the largest waterfalls in the world, is one of the natural beauties that best explains this. The height of the waterfall and its surroundings above sea level is about 1000 meters. It was formed when a large landslide mass separated from Kemerlidağ in the 1700s closed the Tev Valley, where the Tortum Stream flows. A giant cauldron was formed where the waters of Tortum Waterfall fell. Today, a natural environment has been created where water sports can be done.
Tortum Waterfall is known as Turkey's largest and Europe's third largest waterfall. Tortum Waterfall, which takes on a different beauty e very season of the year, offers a unique beauty that amazes nature lovers. While the waterfall shows itself in all its glory especially in May and June, the amount of water decreases after June. The falling water level also adds a different beauty to Tortum Waterfall. The waterfall and its surroundings are also one of the important recreation areas of Erzurum. A hydroelectric power plant was built in Tortum Waterfall between 1952-1960 and started to contribute to Turkey's electricity supply. Located in Uzundere district, this natural wonder is located 100 km north of Erzurum province, 16 km from Uzundere district and on the northern edge of Tortum Lake.
Drawing attention with its red color and interesting landforms, the Narman Fairy Chimneys are also called the"Red Fairy Land".
Narman Fairy Chimneys, known as red fairy chimneys, are located in the south of Narman District, on the 7th kilometer of the Narman-Pasinler highway. Wind and rain eroding the sandy soil created this interesting landscape of red fairy chimneys and narrow valleys. These geological formations are seen only in this region in the Eastern Anatolia Region. Surrounded by Oltu, Şenkaya, Sarıkamış, Horasan, Pasinler and Tortum districts, Narman District is located in the northeast of Erzurum and 90 kilometers from the city center. The valley, where the fairy chimneys are located, draws attention with its similarity to the Colorado Canyon in America. The reason why the Red Fairy Chimneys take on this color is the oxidation of the red color iron in the sediments in the form of Fe2O3.
