The remains of a historic castle rising on steep rocks about 22 km from the Hamur district center.

Safety warning

These are unprotected remains on steep rocks; be careful when climbing and wear sturdy shoes. This is a rural area; check road and access conditions with local authorities before visiting.

Its story

Şoşik Castle stands on steep rocks about 22 km east of the Hamur district center. On discovery routes promoting Ağrı, it is recommended as a stop on the same day as the Hamur Kümbet and is counted among the district's historic places worth seeing. Published detailed information on the castle's construction date and founder is limited; today it survives as wall remains set on rocky ground. As it lies on rural, rugged terrain, a visit can be combined with a short nature walk.
