Step Into the Past
Sinop Castle, now a museum, housed prisoners for centuries.
Step Into the Past
Trace history with a visit to the Sinop Castle and Sinop Fortress Prison. Located on an isthmus that extends into the Black Sea, Sinop Castle dates to the seventh century B.C. In the 13th century, the Seljuk Turks modified the site adding a prison. The Ottomans and later the Turkish Republic continued to use the fortress to house prisoners until 1999, when it was converted into a museum.
