    Such a wonderful site with a charming view of the entire city. However, the structure of the castle isn’t complete, it’s only the ruins of Kutahya castle. Overall it’s a nice place to visit and enjoy the scenery from there

    Came to this town for a little ancient hummum exploration action... Sadly it was closed for construction buuuuuut as fate may have it there was a beautiful castle overlooking the town and it was calling our name 🤩 With a bird's eye view of the surrounding area this is a perfect place to have a fortified castle back in the day. Apparently it's the perfect location for a restaurant with a rotating coffee shop inside today 🤣🤣🤣 It was not a total loss coming here because we got to have a good time trying to figure out how to get on top of this mountain attempting to navigate the crazy steep and small back roads on the bikes. Glad we got to have a nice look about 💪

    Kütahya Castle Turkey Kütahya Castle (Kütahya Kalesi) occupies the highest point in Kütahya. The area has been occupied since ancient times. The castle was originally built by the Byzantines and restored by the Ottomans. I decided to hike up to the castle after exploring the city center and visiting some museums. Kütahya Kalesi in Kütahya, Turkey. Walking Up I found the path up to the castle just above the bazaar area. It only took me about 10 minutes to walk up. The path up to Kütahya Kalesi in Kütahya, On the way up, I was tempted to stop at a small house for some çay (tea) and gözleme, but I passed. When I reached the castle, I realized there wasn’t much to see. It once had 72 towers but most of them are ruined. There seemed to be a restaurant at the top but it was closed during my visit. I’m guessing it’s open in the summer.

    Such a historic place is an old fortress. There is also a café and a place for kahve çay (for tea), and there is also a place for prayer. Having a good view during the day or night, the parking lot is also spacious.

    I can say , the crown of kutahya , we can cover the beautiful view of Kutahya from the hilltop and would be nice experience if could have spent little time in rotating Restaurant . The surrounding area of Kütahya Castle is around 3,500 m2. It contains seventy bastions. The castle is formed of three parts. The inner fortress was constructed after the upper and lower castles. One enters the inner fortress by passing between two doors. There are two doors on the east of the upper castle (also referred to as the main castle). The inner castle is inside and on the west section of the upper castle. While this area is currently in ruins, is consisted of a surrounding area of 800 m2 and contained a mosque, two storerooms, cisterns and military barracks. Evliya Çelebi wrote that the castle was used as a jail. it is understood that it was done in 1377-1378 under the order of the Geremiytanoğulları Sultan, Süleyman Shah.

    I think it is not bad the look from up is very nice and you can try to drink some tea there. Tatli was not that good. Price was not bad.

    Place to get a great view of the whole city. The cafe at the top offers seeds and drinks for those enjoying the view. It’s a must-go place for someone visiting the city.

    It was an enjoyable experience visiting this Castle. We took a taxi from the area close to the Hilton and cost us only 90 lira to get there. The views are breathtaking! 😍 There was a lovely cool breeze which we were grateful for while we sat and enjoyed our delicious Turkish coffee on this very hot day on August 12th while enjoying the view. By the time we left, I saw there were quite a few people coming to enjoy lunch inside the immaculate rotating dining area. It looked very inviting and would have liked to have stayed for lunch too, but unfortunately couldn't this time. It would have been a perfect experience I believe. Next time I visit Kütahya I would like to visit this Castle again for lunch or maybe evening dinner, as I think the view at night would be even more exhilarating. I highly recommend you visit this Castle if you are coming to Kütahya.
