Tokmar Castle, Castle ruin in Mersin Province, Turkey
The castle stands at 380 meters elevation on a plateau of the Toros Mountains, offering clear views toward the Mediterranean Sea coast.
Built in the 12th century by the Byzantine Empire, the fortress changed hands between the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia and Knights Hospitaller in 1210.
The architectural elements of the castle display the military construction methods of the Byzantine period with defense towers on its northern section.
Located 33 kilometers from Silifke and 116 kilometers from Mersin, visitors can reach the site through the D 400 highway at 4 kilometers distance.
The castle maintains its original walls while the interior structures have disappeared, leaving an open space within the fortification perimeter.
