BEŞKAPILAR KALESI

There is little left of the Ionian city of Phocaea. The five-gates castle (Beskapilar Kalesi), with the aqueduct, the ruins of the ancient theatre and those of the temple of Athena, is one of the only remains worthy of interest in Foça. It is a Genoese building, in fact a landing stage, restored by the Ottomans to which they added towers to the ramparts in the 16th century. The former boat shelter, partially and several times restored, is now used as an open-air theatre. You'll find it as you pass the sanctuary and the city walls.
