Karpu Kale

Last refuge of the Amazons

High up in the rugged mountain range, the so-called Amazonian mountains, near the spring of the Thermodon (today Terme Çay), there are the ruins of a fortress, which is extremely inaccessible. Though unapproachable and very destroyed, it still represents a mighty monument, which conveys that this fortress must have been an important place.
Everything points to the fact that it was the last retreat for the hard-pressed Amazons?
