Haruniye / Düziçi [Arab: al-Haruniyyah; Arm: Harun or Harunia; Frank: Haronia or Aronie] is an Arab garrison fortress with a single bailey and one massive rounded tower at the northeast.  Significant repairs were made by the Crusaders (Teutonic Knights), Armenians, and Mamluks.  It is located in the Anti-Taurus Mts. and guarded a strategic route between Cilicia Pedias and the Maraş-Antioch highway.  The plan and photos presented here predate the disastrous Turkish renovations.
