The architecture of Urartu encompasses the construction methods, spatial organization and urban planning of the Urartian culture, an Iron Age civilization centered in Anatolia and the Armenian Highlands. The Urartians are best known for their fortresses, temples and water management systems, which were central to their administrative and military infrastructure, with the fortress of Teishebaini, named for the Urartian god Teisheba, standing as a notable surviving example. Urartian settlements were typically sited near water sources and along trade routes, reflecting a deliberate emphasis on resource access and economic stability.
