Taşkun Kale

Turkey

Taşkun Kale is a mound 31 km from Elazığ city center in the northwest direction, and 4 km southeast of Muratcik Village, formerly known as Aşvan. The hill is 150 meters in diameter and 20 meters high. On certain years, it becomes an island due to the rising waters of the Keban Dam Lake. There is an İlhanlı castle on the mound. The settlement appears to have been a small agricultural community.
