Its story
Erciş is considered the first center and ancestral homeland of the Karakoyunlu State, which ruled Eastern Anatolia, Iraq and Iran between 1365 and 1469. One of the best-known examples of the architectural heritage of this period is the Kadem Paşa Hatun Kümbet, whose construction date is known to be 1458. Because its date is known for certain, it is used as a comparison example in dating Karakoyunlu buildings without inscriptions, such as the nearby Zortul Kümbet; sources mention these kümbets together among the Karakoyunlu works on the Van, Bitlis and Ağrı roads. The Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism counts the kümbet among Erciş's prominent cultural assets. On a visit to Erciş it can be toured together with the Zortul Kümbet and Zernaki Tepe.
