Its story
Kozluk's old name is Hazo, and the castle is also known by this name. Although the first written information about it dates from the Karakoyunlu period, it is believed that the first castle was founded much earlier and repaired by later rulers. The settlement, together with its castle, passed to the Akkoyunlu in the early 15th century and was annexed to Ottoman lands in 1514. In the Kale neighborhood, one of the district's oldest settled areas, the castle forms a historic ensemble with the Hıdır Bey and İbrahim Bey mosques. Its hilltop position offers a wide panorama of Kozluk and the surrounding plain and mountains.
