Story
Rising in the center of Çankırı, this historic castle is a stone witness that has defended the region in the heart of Anatolia for centuries. Built and redesigned by many civilizations from the medieval era through the Ottoman period, its walls tell a layered history, preserving the building techniques of each age. When you take in the panoramic view from its towers, you grasp deeply why Çankırı's commanding position over the valley made it so strategically important. The brick and stonework within the castle is a wonderful example of the architectural skill of earlier civilizations. An interesting detail: some sections of the castle walls were built by reusing stones from older structures. During your visit, watching the city skyline from the towers at sunset will let you feel the spirit of this place at its fullest.
