Harput, Elaz\u0131\u011f\u2019\u0131n kalbinde, 4 bin y\u0131l\u0131 a\u015fk\u0131n ge\u00e7mi\u015fiyle say\u0131s\u0131z medeniyete ev sahipli\u011fi yapm\u0131\u015f kadim bir yerle\u015fim. Eski kaynaklarda Kharberd ya da Xarpert olarak ge\u00e7en ad\u0131n k\u00f6keni ise tart\u0131\u015fmal\u0131. Ermenicede \u201ckale\u201d anlam\u0131na gelen pert \u00f6gesi a\u00e7\u0131k bi\u00e7imde g\u00f6r\u00fcl\u00fcyor, ancak ilk \u00f6genin nereden geldi\u011fi belirsiz. Kimileri ad\u0131n \u201ckayal\u0131k kale\u201d anlam\u0131na geldi\u011fini s\u00f6ylerken, kimileri Hurri dilindeki yol, patika anlam\u0131na gelen har\/khar ile ba\u011flant\u0131 kuruyor. Baz\u0131 g\u00f6r\u00fc\u015fler ise ad\u0131n Hitit ve Hurri inan\u00e7lar\u0131ndaki bir tanr\u0131\u00e7ayla ili\u015fkili oldu\u011funu aktar\u0131yor. B\u00fct\u00fcn bu farkl\u0131 yorumlara ra\u011fmen Harput ad\u0131n\u0131n kesin bir etimolojisi bulunmuyor. Urartu, Hitit, Bizans, Sel\u00e7uklu ve Osmanl\u0131lar\u0131n izlerini ta\u015f\u0131yan bu tarih\u00ee alan, \u00e2deta bir a\u00e7\u0131k hava m\u00fczesi atmosferi sunuyor. B\u00f6lgenin simgesi olan Harput Kalesi, Urartu d\u00f6neminde in\u015fa edilmi\u015f. Bizans, Artuklu ve Osmanl\u0131lar taraf\u0131ndan da kullan\u0131lm\u0131\u015f.
