The castle played an important role in the Gallipoli Campaign of the First World War, as it commanded a strategic position overlooking the entrance to the Dardanelles. During the campaign, the Allies attempted to pass their ships through the strait, but were met with fierce resistance from the Ottoman defenders, including those at Kilitbahir Castle.
