Kiğı Castle

Kiğı Castle stands out among Bingöl’s historic defensive structures with its steep position on Görgeç Hill. The naturally very steep northern and western slopes still clearly convey the castle’s defensive logic today; it can be considered together with Kiğı district and the surrounding Peri River area.
