Çelebibağı Seljuk Cemetery

Located on the shores of Lake Van in the Erciş district of Van, this cemetery is called the Çelebibağı Seljuk Cemetery. While it belongs to the Seljuk period, I also came across some relatively new graves. This magnificent cemetery, where you can admire the unparalleled beauty of Lake Van, is like a gateway to history. During my visit in May, the cemetery was overrun with flies; in some places, we couldn't even walk. I highly recommend seeing the motifs on the tombstones.
