Maraş Castle, Medieval fortress in Kahramanmaraş Province, Turkey.

The castle rises on a strategic hill with six watchtowers and double defensive walls constructed from robust limestone blocks.

Built during the Roman period, the fortress underwent modifications under Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman rule to maintain its military advantage.

The castle museum displays regional artifacts from Hittite periods, presenting the continuous settlement history of Kahramanmaraş through centuries.

Visitors can reach the castle via paved roads, with guided tours available in multiple languages from April through October.

The castle's water cisterns, carved into bedrock, maintained a water supply for thousands of residents during extended sieges.
