Its story
The castle was built in 785–786 as part of the Abbasids' defensive line on the Byzantine border. Haruniye, the former name of Düziçi, also comes from this castle. The wall remains of the building, later also used in the Byzantine and Armenian periods, can be seen on the hill. It is one of the symbols of Düziçi's historic identity.
