Built on the Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University campus, the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Cultural and Congress Center was designed as an architectural replica of the historic Ishak Pasha Palace in Doğubayazıt, at approximately 75% of its original scale. Occupying a 17,500 m² site with approximately 13,000 m² of usable floor area, the complex includes a 1,100-seat main auditorium, two 300-seat conference halls, and four 40-seat seminar rooms. Its approximately 700 m² of usable stage area, side stages, overhead stage facilities, and backstage infrastructure provide the physical and technical capabilities to host international congresses and a full range of performing arts. Incorporating a library, IT facilities, a science center, and exhibition spaces, the complex was recognized during its construction as the largest and most comprehensive cultural and congress center in Eastern Anatolia.
