Elazig is a city full of legends and has a very interesting history. The city was built at the base of Harput Mountain, as in winter time the access was very difficult. Harput is considered as a very old settlement, first historical proofs about his existence dating from 2000 BC. There are many legends about Harput and its Milk Castle. It is thought that because of its height, during the construction, no water resources weren’t found. That is why, the castle was made by milk. This is considered to be a very good explanation for the fact that it resisted so well in time.
