Kozluk Castle
Kozluk Castle is one of the important castles of the historic Erzen region, with its defensive position atop a rocky hill. Its strategic location, which controlled the roads and passages in the region throughout the Middle Ages, makes the castle significant not only in local but also in regional history. Although it has survived to the present day in a ruined state, the hilltop settlement and surrounding views are noteworthy for history enthusiasts.
