Boyabat Castle

Cliff-top fortress above the Gokirmak valley, with Paphlagonian roots and later Ottoman walls.

Boyabat Castle dominates the town from a steep rock above the valley. The site is associated with Paphlagonian origins and later Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman use; today the main pleasure is the climb, the walls, and the view back over the old town and fields.
