Bayburt, Provincial capital in northeastern Turkey.

The city of Bayburt sits at 1555 meters elevation along the Çoruh River, surrounded by mountains in northeastern Anatolia.

The medieval Bayburt Castle, positioned on a strategic route between Trabzon and Erzurum, served as a crucial stronghold during multiple empire transitions.

The Baksı Museum, located 45 kilometers from the city center, exhibits contemporary art alongside traditional Turkish handicrafts in a modern setting.

Bayburt experiences continental climate patterns with warm summers and cold winters, receiving the majority of precipitation during spring months.

The Aydıntepe Underground City features a network of rock-cut galleries and vaulted chambers created without conventional construction materials.
