Anamur (after Fedden);

Karamanid coastal castle with probable Ottoman additions in red:

1.- Moat;
2.- Stream;
3.- Beach;
4.- Inner Citadel;
5.- Landward Enclosure;
6.- Seaward Enclosure;
7.- Main or Sea Entrance;
8.- Land Gate;

Information about early Ottoman fortifications in Anatolia is limited, though the extensive rebuilding of the castle of Anamur - strategically located on the coast - is confirmed by an inscription dated 874 AH (1469-70).
