Tercan

Tercan lies beside the Tuzla, a tributary of the Euphrates, on the road between Erzurum and Erzincan. Its most striking monument is the tomb traditionally associated with Mama Hatun, a woman who ruled the Saltukid principality around the end of the twelfth century. A circular stone enclosure surrounds the tower-like tomb, whose architect came from Ahlat. A caravanserai and bath nearby recall the travellers who followed the road across the highlands.
