Its story
The Hagia Sophia of Enez was built inside the castle in the 12th century as a large basilica. After Mehmed the Conqueror's capture of the town in 1456 it was converted into a mosque and also known as Fatih Mosque. Its roof collapsed due to earthquakes and abandonment, but the building's walls and spatial layout can still be read. Walking inside the castle, you can see Byzantine and Ottoman layers side by side.
