One of the strongest mountain castles of Cilicia with its 12 bastions, guarding the Amanos pass.

Safety warning

The climb to the castle is steep and on a path; wear suitable shoes.

Its story

Savranda (Sarvandikar) is built on a steep hill controlling the road to the Bahçe Pass. The high walls and many bastions of the castle, strengthened in the period of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, are standing. The castle frequently changed hands in the wars between Cilicia and Syria. With its location near the Kalecik Dam, it can be combined with a nature walk.
