The İshak Paşa Palace (İshak Paşa Sarayı) is an outstanding example of an 18th-century Ottoman palace and administrative complex, located on a hill overlooking Doğubayazıt in the province of Ağrı, Türkiye. The palace, covering an area of approximately 7,600 square meters and measuring 50 by 115 meters in a rectangular layout, was commissioned by İshak Paşa, who served as the governor of Çıldır and Ahıska with the rank of vizier. According to the inscription on the entrance of the harem section, construction was completed by İshak Paşa in 1785. The palace showcases a unique blend of Ottoman, Seljuk, and European architectural influences, particularly evident in the grand entrance portal, which is adorned with muqarnas and intricate reliefs. Designed in an east-west alignment, the palace comprises three main sections and is accessed through an impressive arched portal on the eastern facade. Inside the first courtyard, a magnificent fountain and various service quarters, including guards' cells and stables, can be found. A second courtyard, surrounded by administrative buildings, houses the Divan chamber, a mosque, and a mausoleum. The most striking part of the palace is the harem section, which features a monumental archway adorned with lion motifs and intricate plant decorations.Since 2000, İshak Paşa Palace has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List, recognizing its historical and architectural significance as one of the few surviving Turkish palaces.

"Located in Ağrı, Türkiye, the majestic Mount Ağrı, the highest peak in the country at 5,137 meters, is an extinct volcano that captivates with its grand scale and natural splendor. To the north lies the Iğdır Plain (840 meters), while the Doğubayazıt Plain (1,640 meters) stretches to the south, and to the southeast stands the dormant Little Ağrı (3,896 meters). Between the two volcanic peaks lies the Serdar Plateau, a lava plateau at an altitude of 2,600 meters, linking the Great and Little Ağrı mountains.

 Mount Ağrı is particularly notable for its glacial formations and glacier morphology, making it one of Türkiye's most intriguing natural wonders. Covered by a thick glacial sheet, the mountain features glaciers that descend along the summit ridges between the central and western peaks, extending southward, southwestward, and northwestward, eventually forming valley glaciers as they adjust to the terrain. On the northwest face, these glaciers descend as low as 3,500 meters.

 One of the mountain’s unique features is a lake situated at approximately 3,600 meters on the northwest slope. While it remains uncertain whether this body of water is a side crater lake or a cirque lake, it adds a mystical charm to the landscape. Although the mountain is rich in glacial formations, no volcanic or glacial-origin lakes have been found on Great Ağrı itself, apart from the cube-shaped lake at 3,600 meters on the northwest side.

 Mount Ağrı offers visitors the chance to ascend through legendary trails, explore its fascinating volcanic and glacial formations, and witness unparalleled panoramic views, making it a must-visit destination for adventure seekers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone eager to immerse in the breathtaking landscapes and rich heritage of Türkiye."
