Kütahya Fortress

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:51:24

Looming over Kütahya, this originally 8th-century Byzantine fortress was restored by the Seljuks, the Germiyan emirs and the Ottomans between the 13th and 15th centuries. Dozens of round tower ruins indicate its former strength. It is a long uphill walk, or a taxi costs ₺15; afterwards take the steep path down to Ulu Cami.
