| It is located in Atabey District of Isparta Province. It was discovered during the survey conducted by Özsait-Özsait in 2011. There are two roads leading to the fortress on the east and west. Both of the sections, the bedrock was cut and a passage was provided to the steep summit. Stairs were made where it is necessary. The most important remain is the city wall with a width of 2 m built with cut stone blocks. The walls extend from the steep and cliff east section facing to Kisik Valley. So, it was seen that the city wall was built to protect the north and west sections. The fortress measures 250 m long in E-W and 150 m in N-S. A few sherds that could be dated to 4th and 5th century AD. were seen [Özsait-Özsait 2013:320]. |
