A major part of the restoration work initiated by expert teams to repair the damaged areas of the castle has been completed.

As part of the restoration work, the walls of the bazaar part of the castle collapsed and were repaired, and joint strengthening works were carried out in some areas.

Mustafa Celik, deputy director of the museum, provided information about the history of Kahta Castle to Anadolu Agency.

Explaining that the castle was home to many civilizations in the past, Celik said: “It was also an important cult area, and its foundations were laid in the Kumagani period, and then many civilizations, whether Mamluks, Seljuks or Artuqids, left their traces in it. This castle gave its final form to the Mamluks until present day.”

Celik confirmed that the castle is located on the way to Mount Nemrut, and said, “Therefore, it is a frequent destination for visitors.”

Celik pointed out that the castle was damaged by the earthquakes that occurred last year, and said: “The earthquake that struck 11 provinces also affected Adiyaman and caused serious damage to Kahta Castle. Our ministry moved very quickly and began restoration work and work is underway.” “It is nearing completion and is scheduled to open to visitors in the near future.”
