Arslanköy is a small garrison fortress of Byzantine and Armenian construction.  This site consists of several walls and a gate that block access to the summit of a limestone outcrop.  It is located in the Taurus Mts. near the junction of several strategic roads which lead from both Çandır (Papeṙōn) and the Mediterranean Sea to Cappadocia.
