The plain has been settled since at least 1300BC and this was a centre of the Urartu civilisation. The city has many historical ruins from Urartian period. There are a number of places of historical interest around Patnos, including the castle of Aznavur Tepe, an impressive Urartu building.
Today Patnos is a small town in an impoverished rural area.
