Adilcevaz

Adilcevaz extends along the northern coast of Lake Van at an elevation of 1,650 meters, surrounded by mountains and agricultural lands.

The town contains medieval walls dating from the Seljuk period between 1231 and 1243, with inscriptions mentioning ruler Jahan Shah still visible.

The district maintains traditional crafts including carpet weaving and pottery making, while local festivals showcase regional music and dance performances.

The town connects to major cities through regional roads, with spring and autumn offering the most favorable conditions for exploring the area.

Rising water levels in Lake Van submerged portions of the original southern suburbs, transforming part of the area into an island.
