Destination
Arpaz Kalesi
The group of structures located in Esenköy, connected to Nazilli, was established on the foothills of Harpasa Castle, a Carian city. In some sources, the name of this place is also mentioned as Arpaz Tower. It was commissioned by the Arpaz Beys in the early 19th century. However, Ottoman Period remains dating to the 17th and 18th centuries have also been encountered here. Based on this, it can also be thought that the castle was built in an earlier period and later renovated.
