İbrahim Paşa Tabyaları

İbrahim Paşa Tabyaları is one of the quite solid structures from the Ottoman Period, of which there are very few in the region. It was commissioned by İbrahim Paşa around the 1830s to resist attacks coming from the east. While proceeding on the motorway in the direction of Tarsus Pozantı, before reaching the Tekir (Akçatekir) Yaylası area of Adana, a structure can be seen on the high hill to the left of the road. This structure is called Kızıl Tabya (Büyük or Fenerli Tabya).
