Historic Cilician Castle in Türkiye Draws Interest
Located in Adana’s Ceyhan district, the medieval Yılankale castle continues to captivate visitors with its architectural grandeur and rich legends. Built by King Levon I during the Cilician Kingdom, the castle was once a military headquarters. Locals link the site to the mythical creature Şahmeran, and stories say snake trainers or serpent-shaped walls gave Yılankale its name. According to historian Ahmet Karataş, the castle secured key trade routes and still stands as a symbol of regional heritage.
