About Bitlis

Bitlis, a city famous for its castles and Islamic works, dates back to B.C. It is a city thought to have a history dating back to 6 thousand years.

This city, which was devastated by Armenian revenge teams in the years before the War of Independence, suffered many losses. Bitlis, which was freed from occupation in 1916, has not been able to develop since then. Atatürk's will to build a university in this region and his desire for it to develop educationally and culturally did not yield any results.

There are still intense migration events in the region and its economy is not following a good path in many respects. Ahlat museum is one of the most frequently visited areas. Islahiye Madrasa, dating from 1216, is still intact.

There are countless places of worship in Bitlis and you need to spare a few days to visit each of them. Bitlis is an important city with Lake Nemrut, Muslim cemetery and many other historical ruins.
