    Not as high as Ortahisar castle and less dangerous, not dangerous at all actually. Entrance is 20 lira.

    Uchisar is the Turkish word for outer citadel. The rock castle towers over the entire area. The rock castle consists of underground paths and rooms. The natural structure served the Byzantines to ward off Seljuk attacks.
