Feke Castle, Medieval castle in Feke, Turkey
The castle features defensive walls, towers, and vaulted chambers positioned on a mountainous outcrop with steep cliffs on the eastern side.
Byzantine forces constructed the original fortress, which Armenian forces captured in 1097 under Constantine I and enhanced its fortifications substantially.
The castle structure incorporates Armenian architectural elements, particularly visible in the rusticated ashlar masonry with detailed margin work.
The castle entrance includes a winding staircase leading to the summit, where visitors can explore ancient cisterns and residential quarters.
The fortress commands a strategic mountain pass through the Taurus range, with remnants of a two-story Byzantine church nearby.
