Gözne Castle, Medieval fortress in Mersin Province, Turkey.
The castle stands at an elevation of 1,120 meters in the Toros Mountains, featuring two distinct fortified structures with rectangular and hexagonal layouts.
Built between the 12th and 14th centuries during the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, the castle protected strategic routes connecting the Mediterranean coast to inland fortifications.
The construction displays Armenian architectural techniques, incorporating vaulted halls, defensive towers, narrow windows, and specialized fighting platforms in its design.
The castle grounds include a designated picnic area on the northern side, with access restricted to the buildings' interiors through metal grates.
The western chamber contains fifteen porches distributed across its south, west, and north faces, supported by projecting corbels for defensive positions.
