Belenkeşlik Castle
Belenkeşlik Castle is a
medieval castle in Mersin Province, Turkey. It is situated to the north of Soğucak belde (town) of Mersin
. Its distance to Mersin centreum is about 20 kilometres (12 mi).
The exact construction date of the castle is not known. But it was probably a late
Armenian building. Belenkeşlik Castle was one of the smaller fortifications used to control the roads. It is a rectangular plan castle. Although presently it is a two-storey building, judging from the consoles, probably there was also a third floor in the past. The building material is face stone.[1]
