TRABZON KALESİ

21/06/2024

Trabzon Castle, the castle in the highest part of Trabzon, is one of the works that have survived to the present day in the best condition. Trabzon Castle, which starts from the seashore and extends to the hills behind the city, was built on old foundations from the Byzantine Age. The castle, which consists of three separate parts: Upper Hisar, Middle Hisar and Lower Hisar, was made of stones collected from old monuments. However, at the beginning of our century, the stones of the same castle were used in the construction of new buildings. No remains have survived from the theater 300 m north of Yukarı Hisar. Yukarı Hisar is the protector of the inner castle and also serves as the acropolis. It is thought that the first castle was built around 2000 BC.
