The archaeological site is in Kayalıkaya Village, 20 km from Varto. The region was an Urartu settlement; the castle dates from the reign of Sarduri II, King of Urartu (764-735 BCE) and is quite solid and in good condition. This ancient site was discovered during excavations in 1965. A castle, temple, wine cellar, tombs and small items were unearthed during the excavations. Bronze lion statues, buttons, arrowheads, bronze needles and arch fragments with lion-hunting depictions were also found in the castle courtyard. These historical assets are now exhibited in the Ankara Anatolian Civilizations Museum.
