Belenkeşlik Castle
Turkey, Turkey
Belenkeşlik Castle is a medieval fortress in Mersin Province's Toroslar district, Turkey, north of Soğucak town, built during the Byzantine Empire or Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia era.
The rectangular two-story structure, made from dressed stone, follows typical military architecture with possible evidence of a third floor from stone consoles, serving as a strategic point to control regional roads alongside nearby castles like Gözne and Sinap.
Accessible about 20 km from Mersin center, its ruins reflect defensive techniques from that period amid the Taurus Mountains' historical fortifications.
