Anavarza castle tour
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The view from Anavarza’s upper city (on top of the mountain ridge), when looking to the East, in the direction of the castle of Amuda/Hemite. A chain of Byzantine-Armenian castles (Sis, Anavarza, Yılanlı Kale, Toprakkale, Hemite Kalesi, Tumlu Kale) defended the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia; they had visual contact with each other, so that the presence of intruding enemies could swiftly be noticed to all strongholds by smoke signals (by day) or fires (by night).
One of a series of pictures taken during a visit from end to end. The location is imported later, and only at some pictures, I use the centre of a picture as the spot to locate, and not the spot where a picture was taken (the more usual method). Descriptions are based on sources such as: ‘Guides Bleus: Turquie’ – Edition 1986 , ‘Guide Fodor: Turquie’ - Edition 1988 & Personal Visits (by a correspondent of the author in 1985-1999). |
