Castles & Ancient Ruins

This collection explores the historical fortifications and archaeological mounds of Adana. It features Anazarbus, the former Roman capital of Cilicia Secunda, and the 12th-century Armenian stronghold of Yılankale. The list includes significant archaeological tells like Sirkeli Höyük, known for its Hittite reliefs, and the high-altitude Hellenistic fortress of Karasis Kalesi. These sites document the region's strategic evolution from the Hittite period through the Crusades, situated across the limestone ridges and riverbanks of ancient Cilicia.
