Erzurum is a city in the far east of Turkey, the largest city of eastern Anatolia, set high on a plateau at over 1,900 metres in a region of mountains and harsh, snowy winters. It is a historic city on the ancient routes between Anatolia and the Caucasus and Iran, with a rich heritage of Seljuk and later architecture, including the landmark Cifte Minareli Medrese, a grand old theological college with twin minarets, and other historic mosques, tombs and a citadel. Today Erzurum is also known as a winter-sports centre, with the nearby Palandoken mountain a major ski resort, having hosted international winter games. It is a lively university city in a dramatic upland setting. Erzurum is reached by flights into its airport, from Istanbul, Ankara and other cities, by rail, and by road. The climate is harshly continental, with long, cold, snowy winters and short, mild summers.
