Gavur Castle, formerly known as Ghiaour and Giaour castle,[1] all meaning infidel's castle (from Gavur), is a castle located in the Dereköy neighborhood of Haymana, on the road to the Kara Ömerli neighborhood.
Researchers determined that it was built between 1600 and 1700 BC, during the years when the Hittites[2] ruled.[1] [3] There are 2 distinct soldier reliefs on the outer walls of the castle and a depiction of a female figure that can hardly be seen with the naked eye today. The excavation of the Gavur Castle was at the request of Atatürk.[4] [5]
