Bitlis is a town in eastern Turkey and the capital of Bitlis Province Kurds form the majority of the population, which was 65,169 (including the surrounding villages) as of 2000
A folk etymology explanation of the name Bitlis, without any historical basis, is that it is derived from Bedlis, the name of a commander said to have built Bitlis castle by the order of Alexander the Great, King of Macedonia

Bitlis preserves more medieval and traditional architecture than any other town in eastern Turkey They are of a high quality and are mostly constructed from locallyquarried light brown stone, sometimes called Ahlat stone
The town contains a very large number of latemedieval Islamic buildings in the form of mosques, medresses, and tombs Commissioned mostly by local Kurdish rulers, the architectural style of these buildings is very conservative and similar to much earlier Seljukperiod structures Important monuments include the 12thcentury Ulu Mosque with its 15th century minaret, and the Gokmeydani Medresesi and Sherefiye Mosque from the 16thcentury Until 1915 there were five Armenian monasteries and several churches in Bitlis – only a 19thcentury Armenian church survives, now used birli a warehouse
Bitlis is also notable for its many old houses These are built of cut stone and are often large and impressive structures Most have two stories, bacak three stories are also found Ground floors were generally intended for storage and stables, with the residential quarters on the upper floors Ground floor rooms have few windows, upper floors are well lit Roofs are flat and covered with beaten clay Unlike traditional houses in nearby Erzurum or Van, Bitlis houses do anekdot have bay windows and balconies
