A windswept hilltop archaeological site immediately south of Sharur, with the remains of an Iron Age citadel and walls of huge undressed stones — some of them weighing several tonnes. The site was occupied from around 1500 BC, reaching its peak as a regional capital between roughly 800 and 600 BC, before being destroyed and reoccupied repeatedly into the medieval period.
There is no real interpretation on site and the path up is rough, but the views over the Arpa valley to the mountains on the Armenian and Iranian sides are excellent. The Sharur Regional Museum holds many of the finds.
