Kalecik (formerly known as Aralesk or Lesk) is a modern village situated ca. 5 km north of Van Kalesi in southeast Turkey. In the village church, a re-used cylindrical stone (presumably a column base) with a building inscription of the Urartian king Išpuini, son of Sarduri I (ninth century BCE), was found. Furthermore, a re-used stone slab with an inscription of the Urartian king Argišti, son of Minua and grandson of Išpuini (eighth century BCE) has also been found here.
