Yelbiz Kalesi, known as "Spider Castle," is a ruined Byzantine fortress perched on a 600-meter hill northeast of Bozyazı in Mersin Province, southern Turkey, near Tekedüz village.
Likely built by the Byzantine Empire, the site includes remnants of a monastery with two halls, a basilica, geometric mosaic floors, round-arched windows, two cisterns, and western towers about 6-7 meters tall.
Access involves a road through dense forest from the village, with the final 350 meters on foot, making it 8 km from Bozyazı and 207 km from Mersin city.
