About

Atop the promontory, this was built around 190 BC by order of Pharnaces I of Pontus, son of king Mithridates III. At its highest point is the tomb of Atatürk’s bodyguard Topal Osman (1883-23), born in Giresun. North are the Martyr’s Cemetery and the tomb of Kurbande, a follower of the 13th century Haji Bektash Veli.

Giresun Castle is a fortress built in the 2nd century BC in what is now Giresun Province, Turkey.
