Lampron / Namrun / Çamlıyayla [Arab: Tāmrūn; Arm: Lambrōn or Lambrun] is a sprawling Hetʽumid castle of Armenian construction with a few structural remains from the late antique and Byzantine periods.  The residential chambers at the northwest are especially impressive with their well-cut ashlar masonry.  It guarded a strategic route from Tarsus to Cappadocia.
