Yeni Kale ruins

High on a rock you find the dramatic castle Yeni Kale (New Fortress) perched on a vertiginous crag. This fine castle is a 13-th Mamluk fortification. Closed since 2005 for restoration and it is likely to remain closed for a while longer, as the leader of the works died when he fell of the edge after missing his footing.
