Mamure Castle is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Turkey, located in the Bozdoğan village of the Anamur district of Mersin on the Mediterranean coast. Built by the Romans in the 3rd century to protect against pirate attacks, the castle has survived to the present day with various repairs and additions during the Byzantine, Seljuk, Karamanid and Ottoman periods. The castle, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Temporary List in 2012, covers an area of 23,500 square meters and is surrounded by walls with 39 towers.

Conquered by Karamanid Mahmut Bey in the 14th century, the castle began to be known as "Mamure" (prosperous, abundant) and a mosque was added inside. The castle, which came under Ottoman rule in 1469, underwent various repairs in the following centuries. Mamure Castle is located on the Antalya-Mersin highway, 6 km from the Anamur district of Mersin. Visiting hours are between 08:00-18:00.
