Selçuk - Citadel

To the north of the basilica in Selçuk, on the highest point of the hill stands the Citadel, in an excellent state of preservation. There is no written evidence as to its date, but the style of masonry indicates that it was built in Byzantine times and extended by the Seljuks. The mighty enclosure wall had fifteen towers, mostly rectangular. Within the walls are several cisterns, a small Seljuk mosque and a Byzantine church.
