Karaman Castle, Military fortress in Karaman, Turkey.
The castle features three concentric ramparts with nine bastions, including four circular and five rectangular towers built from thick stone walls.
Built by the Byzantine Empire in the 11th century, the fortress changed hands between the Seljuks, Karamanids, and Ottoman Empire who restored it in 1465.
The castle transformation into a public park occurred after the mid-20th century when all buildings within the outer ramparts were removed.
Located at 1046 meters elevation, the castle remains open to visitors who can explore the defensive structures and historical remnants throughout the site.
The fortress maintains three distinct layers of defensive walls, with the innermost section containing a citadel surrounded by precisely arranged bastions.
