The Castle of Afyonkarahisar (Turkish: Afyonkarahisar Kalesi) is a historical fortification, which was built around 1350 BC and is located in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey.[1][2] While Afyonkarahisar Castle (Literally: "Black Opium Castle" Fortress) refers specifically to the defensive fortification, Afyonkarahisar refers to the town containing the structure, and was renamed from Afyon to Afyonkarahisar in 2004.[3]
