It is located south-southwest of the village of Salar; 15 km west of the district of Boyabat in the province of Sinop and is well-known with the Paphlagonian type rock tomb. Especially the northwestern and western slopes; besides the materials dating to the Hellenistic and Roman periods when the castle was occupied; have yielded EBA ceramics which indicate a settlement in an earlier phase. |
