Iğdir Castle With Its Castle-City Structure
Abstract
Though East- Anatolian Region is situated at an altitude of nearly 1500 meters above the sea level and surrounded by high mountains and platos, Iğdır with an altitude of 895 meters, has been founded at its present location in later times. As the city was collapsed greatly during 1664 earthquake, it was left and re-founded in its present situation which is the lowest location of the region. The former city was situated at the southern part of the present city, 36 km far from it, on the North-West side of Mount Ağrı with its location on the rocky hill suitable for defense. It is not certain that when and by whom Iğdır (Korgan) Castle was founded firstly. Iğdır Castle and Sürmeli Hole which is on the north east was within the borders of Urartus that dominated the greater part of East Anatolian Region in the early period. It is within the common belief that the castle named as Şatık Castle in Dede Korkut Writings and taken back from the Byzantines in 1064 by Melikşah and Vazir Nizamülmülk was Iğdır Castle. The castle which was mentioned for the first time with this invasion in the historical chronicles dates back to Urartus with its walls which have come down to present time.
