Kars 3319.jpg

view map

Picture of the Beylerbeyi Saray. It sits at the foot of the hill that holds the castle. It was in ruins, but in an article from 2020 [1] one reads it has been restored. It was built in 1579 by Lala Mustafa Pasha. Cut stone and rubble stone were used in the construction of the palace. The structure of the windows of the palace, which has a round-arched entrance door on its front facade, is round-arched. It was destroyed in 1828 during the Ottoman-Russian War. It was to be opened to visitors at the end of 2020.
