Gölhisar (literal translation: "lake castle") is a town in Burdur Province in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. It is the seat of Gölhisar District.[1] Its population is 16,118 (2021).[2]
During antiquity Golhisar was site of an ancient city called Kibyra, the capital of a tetrapolis comprising Kibyra itself, Bubon, Balbura and Inuanda, which according to Herodotus were founded by the Pisidians around 1000BC, Roman ruins including a 180 meter wide theater can be still seen. In the Byzantine era the town was the seat of a Christian Bishopric.
Ibn Battuta visited the small town of Qul Hisar, noting "There is no way to reach it except by a path like a bridge constructed between the rushes and the water, and broad enough only for one horse-man."[3]
Gölhisar became a district on January 13, 1953 with the merger of Uluköy and Horzum Districts. It got its name from the fortress built on the island in the middle of the lake, 6 km from the district.
