Maden Castle

The castel is 15 km to Ispir and 2 km to Maden. It is situated in the north of Erzurum-Ispir road and west of the town. Both the south and north walls of the castle are well preserved. The east-west oriented castle's eastern part is higher but narrower than the west part following the topography of the hill. The main entrance is in the south, and another small one in the north-west allowed access to water. Remains of two cisterns can be seen.
