One of Turkey's most impressive places, the house on top of the rock in the Kemaliye district of Erzincan, which has become a symbol of the area and can be reached by climbing 96 steps, amazes those who see it.

Teacher Bekir Taştan from Erzincan proposed to his wife Nermin Taştan to live a peaceful life away from the noise of Istanbul, where they had worked for many years, after he retired.
THEY STARTED TO BUILD WITH THEIR OWN MEANS
After Nermin Taştan, who is also a retired teacher, accepted this proposal on the condition that they build a house on the cliffs in Kemaliye district of Erzincan, the couple, who came to the district years ago, started to build a house with their own means on a hill overlooking a valley and the road leading to the district.
THEY COMPLETED IT WITH 2 YEARS OF WORK
The Taştan family later managed to build the house with 2 years of work by transporting stones with human and animal power, sand, and cement to the bottom of the cliff and then taking them to the top of the cliff with a primitive cable car.
IT BECAME ONE OF THE SYMBOLS OF THE DISTRICT
Since the house is located at the top of the cliff and can be accessed by climbing 96 steps, it soon became one of the symbols of the district. The house, which attracts the attention of local and foreign tourists passing by the road to the district center with its majestic appearance on the rocks, is quite interesting.
IT ALSO ATTRACTS THE ATTENTION OF PRODUCTION COMPANIES
The house, where some scenes of the comedy film "Düğün Dernek 2," directed and written by Selçuk Aydemir and starring Ahmet Kural, Murat Cemcir, Rasim Öztekin, and Şinasi Yurtsever, were filmed, is attracting the attention of production companies as well as tourists.
