Hoşap Kalesi

I haven't so much to say about this - the third stop and second castle of the day! It is not in the same state of ruin as Çavuştepe, perhaps because it was built relatively recently- in 1643 by the Kurdish Mahmudi Suleyman.
It was locked and we couldn't enter, but I think the best view was from the road anyway.
And this final picture is of a young boy trying to sell ozeliks his mother made. I don't actually know what the correct spelling is or what they are for, but I imagine it is for some form of protection... Information anyone?
