Hoşab (also: Hoşap or Xoşabê) is the historical name of a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Gürpınar, Van Province, Turkey.
Located on the flat ground north of the Hoşap Castle rock, Güzelsu is surrounded by a mud-brick wall, much eroded today, but still quite striking.
[4] A 32 m long, 6 m wide and 5 m high historic bridge spans the Hoşap River, providing access to the castle.
[5] Two foundation plaques, which are placed between the arches, are framed with carved muqarnas and floral motifs and protected with stone eaves.
They are from 1671 and written in a mixture of Turkish, Persian and Arabic in honour of the bridge's builder, Zeynel Bey, the head of the local Mahmudi tribe governing Hoşab under Ottoman rule at that time.
