The regional center of Gevas is situated on the road to Tatvan almost 40km/25mi southwest of Van. The remains of Vastabkalesi, an Armenian castle can be seen on the edge of the town, while in the town itself to the southeast of the citadel stands the extensive Izdisar Camii.
The mosque of the provincial governor of Van, Izzeddin Sir Bes, has the rooms of an old Koran school in the forecourt. To the north of the town on the road to Tatvan lies an Islamic cemetery with a polygonal mausoleum and some other interesting tombstones and pyramid-shaped sarcophagi. The richly decorated domed tomb with a pyramid roof dates from 1358.
