Photographer’s Note

The citadel of Afyon, or better known as "Afyonkarahisar" - "The Black Castle of Afyon". Mind you, it was horribly restored by local council recently with whitish stones :) :) :)

The castle of Afyon shows traces dating back to Phrygians (7th century BC) and was occupied since... so it is an almost 3000 years old castle (beat that :)This phase you are seeing shows mainly Byzantine, Selcukid and Turkish walls.
