Erzurum is one of the biggest and most modern cities in Turkey. Throughout its 6,000 year-history, the city has been a local, economic and political center. Erzurum has acted as host to the world's most important civilizations, such as Persians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuk Turks and Ottomans. In the city, along with the Öflvank and Haho churches, dating back to very old times, there are also works such as Double Minarets, Lala Pasha Mosque. So Erzurum is where two civilizations meet.
