Stunning location with a wonderful panorama of the entire city. An old fortification qualifies as such a historic location. With a bird’s eye perspective over the surroundings, this location would have been ideal for a walled castle in the past. Going there was not a loss.
Additionally, there is a coffee, a spot to drink tea (kahve çay), and a place to worship. The parking area is big and has a nice view both day and night. The wonderful view of Kutahya can be seen from the hilltop, and it would have been a nice experience to spend some time in the 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.
