Ayasuluk Citadel
Turkey, Turkey
Ayasuluk Citadel, perched on Ayasuluk Hill in Selçuk near Ephesus, Turkey, originated as a Byzantine fortress from the 6th century, with walls reinforced by Seljuk and Ottoman reconstructions using rubble stone and towers.
It protected key structures like a royal palace, cisterns, a mosque, and a converted Byzantine basilica apse, enclosing the Basilica of St. John below. The site blends Hellenistic roots with later Islamic layers, offering panoramic views and traces of ancient Ephesus materials in its architecture.
