Yılan is
an impressive Armenian castle with over a dozen towers, three baileys and a
chapel. The relief added to the
reconstructed upper bailey gatehouse depicts an Armenian king of the mid-13th
c. or later. The entire castle was
undoubtedly built prior to the renovation of the gatehouse. This site is northeast of Misis near the
highways linking Sis, Anavarza, Toprak, and Tarsus.
