Dağlı Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Erdemli, Turkey
Located on a hill at 900 meters elevation, Dağlı Castle features remaining fortification walls and a preserved main chamber known as the queen's room.
The castle served multiple functions during the Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, and Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, controlling important caravan routes through the region.
A rock relief near the main gate displays carvings of two soldiers and a pregnant woman, along with an inscription containing references to Armenian kings.
Visitors need to walk and climb for two kilometers from Dağlı Village to reach the castle, as the final portion lacks vehicle access.
The castle contains two small compartments identified as ancient toilets and several dark chambers that potentially functioned as prison cells.
