Erzincan is a city in eastern Turkey rebuilt on a grid plan after a devastating 1939 earthquake, giving it a notably modern layout unusual for a settlement with medieval roots — it served as capital of the Mengüçlü principality in earlier centuries. Set close to mountains and within reach of water, it functions today as the provincial capital of Erzincan Province and a practical base for exploring the surrounding Eastern Anatolian landscape.
