Koz Castle
Turkey, Turkey
Koz Castle, also known as Koz Kalesi or Kürşat Castle, is a historic fortress perched on a rocky hill in the Altınözü district of Hatay Province, southern Turkey, overlooking the Mediterranean with views into Syria.
Dating back to Hellenistic times with major Crusader-era fortifications from the 12th century during the Principality of Antioch, it was conquered by Mamluk Sultan Baybars in 1268 and later fell under Ottoman control in 1516.
Featuring robust defensive walls, towers, and remnants like baths and arsenals amid lush greenery, this free-entry site offers panoramic vistas and nature walks, though recent earthquakes have damaged its bastions needing restoration.
