Doğubeyazıt sits in Turkey's easternmost district and is a good jumping off point for visiting Mt. Ararat. But it has other attractions, too, like the İshak Paşa Sarayı, begun in the 17th century, and which took three generations to complete in 1784.

Palace dome and minaret:
The palace gates and courtyard:
Interior gateways:
Dining room:
Beautiful details everywhere:
