Tunceli, Administrative center in Eastern Anatolia Region, Turkey.
The city of Tunceli sits at an elevation of 940 meters, surrounded by the Munzur Mountains and intersected by rivers in Eastern Turkey.
The area, formerly called Dersim until 1935, experienced significant changes during the establishment of the Turkish Republic between 1937 and 1938.
The population of Tunceli maintains strong connections to Alevi religious practices, with numerous ceremonies taking place throughout the calendar year.
