Amasra Fortress

[1] It was added to the Tentative List of World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 2020.

[1] Amasra Fortress consists of two main masses which are connected by a bridge called the Boztepe Arch.

The fortress was used extensively during the Genoese period and had serious repairs done in the 14th and 15th centuries.

[2][3] Since the north and northwest of Sormagir Castle descend into the sea in a very steep cliff, no walls were built here.

Figures such as Eros, Medusa, an eagle, and ox head are also still preserved.
