The map
About this Bitlis map poster
Bitlis lies in eastern Turkey in a deep, narrow valley south-west of Lake Van. The town has little flat ground, so its layout follows the terrain closely. The main streets run along the stream at the bottom of the gorge, and houses climb the steep slopes on either side in tight, stepped rows. On the map the town appears as a long, winding strip rather than a round settlement.
A castle stands on a rocky spur in the middle of the town, and the old centre is known for houses and mosques built of local cut stone. Bitlis sat on historic routes between Anatolia, Mesopotamia and the Iranian plateau, and its narrow passage made it strategically important for centuries.
A Bitlis map poster shows a town shaped almost entirely by its gorge. Streets fork and twist to fit the slopes, and the stream threads through the whole composition. It is one of the clearest examples of how terrain can dictate a town plan, and it makes a striking vertical image.

Castle spur
The castle's rocky outcrop sits at the heart of the town, and the surrounding streets curve around its base.
Valley stream
The stream runs through the length of the town and ties the neighbourhoods together, giving the map its main line.
