Historic Bayburt Castle to reveal secrets in new excavation
Hurriyet Daily News / Apr 4, 2026
A team of experts is set to arrive next month at Bayburt Castle, where excavations are expected to begin in mid-June as part of a new project aimed at bringing its layered past to light.
Long favored as a secure base due to its strategic position along the historic Silk Road, as well as its fertile surroundings and proximity to water sources, the northeastern province of Bayburt has drawn attention for its network of fortresses and watchtowers built across successive eras.
Among the city’s five registered castles, Bayburt Castle stands out as the most prominent, rising on steep cliffs overlooking the city center.
