Meydan Kalesi
Turkey, Turkey
Meydan Kalesi, also known as Meydankale, is a ruined ancient castle in Mersin Province, southern Turkey, featuring massive polygonal and cyclopean walls from the Hellenistic era around 2300 years ago, with later reconstructions in Roman, Byzantine, and medieval periods.
Perched in rugged hills, the site includes rock-cut hypogea, monolithic doorways resembling those at Tiwanaku, 3D relief carvings, and square rooms, suggesting multi-phase use as a fortified settlement overlooking valleys. Accessible via hikes, it showcases advanced megalithic masonry akin to sites in Greece and Italy, blending early defensive architecture with later expansions.
