Karaman Castle

Karaman Castle (Turkish: Karaman Kalesi) is a partly ruined castle in the city of Karaman, central Turkey.

It is believed that the castle was built in the late 11th or early 12th century.

The castle consists of three concentric ramparts, called theDışkale ( outer), Ortakale (middle) and İçkale (inner) one. The innermost rampart is situated on a tumulus, which bears the traces of Bronze Age and the periods of Roman and Byzantine Empire. Archaeological excavations at the tumulus, which started in 2013, has revealed architectural structures.
