A historic castle in the village of Tokluca in Diyadin, notable for its sections that descend underground by stairs.

Safety warning

The underground sections are dark, narrow and unprotected; do not go inside, or proceed only with proper lighting and a guide. This is a rural area; check access conditions with local authorities before visiting.

Its story

Tokluca Castle is in the village of Tokluca, about 19 km from the Diyadin district center. Together with Diyadin castle and the Meya rock settlement, it is counted among the district's main historic remains. The castle's most interesting feature is its sections that descend underground by stairs. The area came under the rule of many states, from the Arsacids to the Ottomans, and the castle bears the traces of this long history. As the remains are in a rural area, a visit can be planned on the same route as the Meya Rock Settlement.
