Trabzon Castle
Trabzon, Türkiye, Turkey
Trabzon Castle, encompassing the extensive Walls of Trabzon in northeastern Turkey, features foundations from the Roman era in the 1st century AD, with major constructions during the Byzantine and Empire of Trebizond periods from the 13th to 15th centuries.
Divided into Upper Hisar (citadel with imperial palace and aqueduct), Orta Hisar (middle town with mosques and gates like Imaret and Zaganos), and Asagi Hisar (lower town extending to the Black Sea), these fortifications protected the strategic Black Sea port through Comnenos rule until Ottoman conquest in 1461 by Mehmed II.
Blending Hellenistic, Byzantine, and Ottoman architecture with thick stone walls, towers, and gates amid valleys now turned into parks, the ruins offer panoramic city and sea views as a preserved testament to Trabzon's layered defensive history.
