Pertek: the castle in the lake and the relocated mosques

A short route on the shore of the Keban Dam reservoir: Pertek Castle, which became an island in the middle of the water, and the 16th-century Sungur Bey and Çelebi Ali mosques, whose stones were numbered and moved from old Pertek to the new district center because of the dam.
