Nene Hatun Historical National Park

The national park extends across a mountainous terrain featuring fortifications, memorial sites, and natural pathways near the city of Erzurum.

Established in 2007, this park commemorates the defense of Fort Aziziye during the 1877-1878 Russo-Turkish War, where local civilians led a successful counterattack.

The park preserves the memory of Nene Hatun, who at age 20 participated in the defense of Fort Aziziye after losing her brother to Russian forces.

Visitors can access the park through guided tours that explain the military fortifications, with an entrance fee of 15 TL per vehicle.

The park contains the original fortifications where 2,000 Russian soldiers fell during a civilian-led counterattack using basic farming tools and minimal weapons.
