          • And here's a mosque of Mevlana. Mevlana was of Afaghani origin, he was a muslim mystic, creator of bektashi order, you know, the spinning sufis and stuff.

                          • Here's Kozan, former Sis. It used to be the capital of cilician Armenia until it was destroyed in second half of XIV century (remains of it lived their way to XV century).
                            It's a very very bad pic, taken from the bus, but I had no other opportunity to make it. Look for a bright spot on top of the mountain in the middle.

                            • The castle stretches along the top of the mountain, mainly on the other side, though; it'a a bad pic as well, but I want You to imagine how big it is.

                              • Here's a nice view taken by me while going up to the castle. By the way, Sis used to be the sit of one of two armenian patriarchs (katolikos, uh, es) until 1921. Not much is left of his residence, though, so I will not post pictures of it.
                                people were in general friendly in all Turkey, but especially in Kozan. I will remember this place and will return there, the castle is one of the nicest places I've seen.
