Ravanda Castle, Kilis: Come, Unveil Centuries of History in the Sanctuary of Stone!

Ravanda Castle

Set in Belenözü Village of the Polateli district, Ravanda Castle (Ravanda Kalesi) is atop a steep hill. Although the original walkway was destroyed over time, a staircase and walking paths have been installed to allow an easier climb to the castle. As well, information signs, and benches for resting were also erected during restorations. In the eastern part of the castle’s interior, there are two large water cisterns with stairs in front of them. It is alleged that the cisterns lead to a secret path descending to the Afrin Stream. In the northern part of the castle, the ruins what may have been a palace can be seen.
