... that the Babakale Castle used to supply water to the Ottoman Navy fleet before they set sail for campaign? Source: "Yapılan bu çeşme konumu sebebi ile Osmanlı Donanması içi oldukça büyük öneme arz etmektedir. Seferlere çıkılmadan önce bu çeşmeden depolanan su ile uzun bir süre idare edilme ediyor ve bozulmadan durabiliyormuş." (in Turkish) [1]

Dimensions

How big is the castle? Presumably it was quite large if there was room for 27 houses inside it. Maybe approximate dimensions can be added to the floor plan?

Is there any details of the height and thickness of the walls? TheEagleGuy (talk) 13:30, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your interest. I have measured the dimensions from ACME Mapper and added them to the article to to give an indication. At this point, I have no information about the height of the walls. CeeGee 14:36, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
