Visitors flocked to the Ahlat region in Türkiye’s Bitlis province, which is an open-air museum that houses the world’s largest Turkish-Islamic Cemetery and is notable for its historical artifacts. In 2022, 150,000 people visited the region, which is on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Tentative List and also known as the Orkhon Monuments of Anatolia.
Ahlat Museum Supervizor Mikail Ercek said that visitors to domes, castles and historical places in Ahlat, especially Seljuk Square Cemetery, increase exponentially every year. “The reason for this increase is that the archaeological excavation and restoration continue regularly in the Seljuk Square Cemetery every year, and the cemetery has a beautiful silhouette,” he said.
