Its story
Trapessac was built in the 12th century by the Knights Templar, together with Bakras, to protect the Amanos passes. Taken by Saladin (Selahaddin Eyyubi) in 1188, the castle passed to Armenian and Mamluk control in the following centuries. Today remains of walls and buildings can be seen on the hill. It is about 4 kilometers from Kırıkhan.
