Hınıs

Located 150 kilometers from Muş city, Hınıs spans across 1,367 square kilometers between the Ak Dağ mountains and Bingöl Mountains in eastern Turkey.

The medieval period saw Hınıs Plain as part of the Armenian canton of Varazhnunik, with its castle serving as a fortified market town for regional trade.

The district population of 24,680 maintains traditional practices through local markets, regional products, and agricultural activities that define daily life in the region.

The district connects to neighboring regions through roads linking to Varto, Karaçoban, and Tekman, while offering basic administrative services to its 98 neighborhoods.

The Ulu Cami Mosque, constructed in 1734, features a distinctive cube shape with a pyramidal roof topped by small domes beneath the ancient castle rock.
