Mut Castle, Medieval fortress in Mut, Turkey
The fortress spans 3,900 square meters with nine defensive bastions and features a cylindrical inner castle within its square-shaped main structure.
The castle was captured and reconstructed by the Sultanate of Rum under Kayqubad I in 1225 before falling to Ottoman control in 1473.
The structure incorporates architectural elements from Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods, displaying the evolution of military construction techniques across centuries.

The fortress served as a co-capital during the Karamanid period and underwent significant renovations during Sultan Ahmet I's reign from 1603 to 1617.
