The municipality of Bayburt (61,354 inhabitants in 2012, 35,947 in the town of Bayburt; 265,541 ha) is located 150 km south-east of Trabzon.
Bayburt was originally founded by the Azzi people. Groups who
subsequently either settled in the area or dominated it include the
Cimmerians in the 8th century BC, then in the 7th century BC the Medes,
followed by the Persians, the Pontic Empire, the Romans, the Byzantines
(who called it Paipert), the Bagratid Kingdom of Armenia, the Seljuks,
the Aq Qoyunlu, briefly the Safavids, and eventually the Ottomans.
The town prospered in the late 13th and early 14th century because of
the commerce between Trebizond and Iran.
Bayburt was captured by a Russian army in 1828/1829 and the town and
citadel were largely damaged by them. The British traveler William John
Hamilton (1805-1887) commented on the ruins in the 1840s.

The flag of Bayburt (photo) is white with the municipality's emblem. "Belediyesi" means "Municipality". The former flag of Bayburt (photo) was white with the municipality's former emblem. The citadel erected on the rocks that overlooks the town probably dates
back to the Roman period, being reused by the subsequent rulers of the
town. Completely revamped during the Saltukid period (12th century), the
citadel was completed in 1200-1230 by Tughril Shah, the Seljuk Emir of
Erzurum. The towers are 12-13 m in height while the height of the walls is about 30 m. Tomislav Šipek & Ivan Sache, 30 April 2018 Photos: Tomislav Šipek, 10 February 2022 The municipality of Arpalı (2,703 inhabitants in 2005) is located 20 km

The emblem, adopted in 2014, features Vefali ("Loyal") the emblematic
stork that has been nesting on the dome of the central mosque and quite
migrating for 14 years. Causing damage to the dome, the nest was once
destroyed and reestablished after the restoration of the building.
However, the stork preferred to live in the neighboring woods, until the
artificial nest was removed and the bird could rebuild a nest of his own.
