Karaagac Mahallesi: 13 Şubat Caddesi
13 Şubat Caddesi combines everyday commerce with a broad civic streetscape in a way that reflects its central position in Erzincan. Lined with shops, cafés and low- to mid-rise buildings, the avenue belongs to the rebuilt urban fabric of a city reshaped after the destructive 1939 Erzincan earthquake. Its name recalls 13 February, the date on which Erzincan was liberated from Russian occupation in 1918. Beyond the city, Erzincan occupies a wide inland plain beside the Karasu, an upper tributary of the Euphrates, enclosed by the mountains of eastern Anatolia. This is a working city centre, where pedestrian movement and road traffic share a spacious, open layout.
