Bozcaada Castle, Medieval fortress in Bozcaada Island, Turkey.
The stone fortress features double defensive walls, a moat measuring 250 meters in length, and multiple interior structures including cisterns and an arsenal.
Sultan Mehmet II rebuilt the castle in 1455 after conquering the island, establishing it as a strategic military stronghold at the entrance of Dardanelles.
The castle exhibits architectural elements from multiple civilizations, including Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman periods, reflecting the island's diverse heritage.
Located next to the ferry terminal, visitors can access the castle daily between 10:00 and 20:00 through a permanent bridge that replaced the original drawbridge.
Inside the fortress, a dedicated room displays ancient amphorae discovered around the island, along with historical tombstones and archaeological artifacts.
