About this place
Kazan Castle lies approximately 12–13 kilometres northeast of Ardahan, on a tongue-shaped rise overlooking the Kura Valley. Its ruins and the surrounding river landscape make it an interesting historical stop beyond the city centre. Take time to study the terrain as well as the surviving remains; the setting helps you appreciate the castle’s position above the valley. The castle’s construction date and builders remain uncertain. Traces of an old settlement around it suggest that the site once included more than a defensive structure. Located within the boundaries of Çamlıçatak village, the castle and surrounding remains are protected as an archaeological site. Plan your visit as an outdoor exploration of ruins. Wear sturdy shoes, carry water and ask locally about the final approach. Avoid climbing historic walls or moving stones while exploring.
