Gaziantep Castle, located in the city of Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey, is a historic fortress that has stood for centuries. Originally built as a watchtower by the Hittites, the castle was expanded and fortified by the Romans in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. The structure saw further modifications under Byzantine and Islamic rule, reflecting a blend of architectural influences. With its strategic hilltop position, the castle offers a commanding view of the surrounding area.
