Its story
The Kalecik Dam was built between 1978 and 1985 on the Kalecik Çayı (Kalecik Stream), one of the tributaries of the Ceyhan River, for irrigation. The rock-fill dam is 80 meters high from the riverbed; at normal water level it forms a lake of about 1.36 km² and irrigates 4,890 hectares. The name of the village of Kızıldere, where the dam is located, was changed to Kalecik at the villagers' request, inspired by the dam. It can be seen together with the nearby Savranda Castle.
