Its story

The Sığırlık Castles stand on steep cliffs overlooking the Köprüçay valley and the old pass roads around it. The castle remains show how important the region was for defense throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages. Access requires a hike, and there is no organized visitor area. From the heights a wide view opens up toward the Kovada area and the Taurus ranges.
