Barbarossa's Castle Kusadasi Turkey

great shot, would be super to have a bit of history of the Castle?
The city of Kuşadası (Bird Island) is located on the southwest coast of Turkey, on the Aegean Sea, 90 km from Izmir and 18 km from Ephesus. The area surrounding Kuşadası was first settled around 3000 BC by the Lelegians and Carians. The land was fertile for growing grapes, olives and figs. Its harbor made it an important part of trade routes, and became even more valuable when nearby Ephesus’s harbor was no longer usable due to the course of the Caystros River changing. With such a desirable location, Kuşadası underwent many invasions and changes in dominating forces through the years, among them the Persians, Romans, Byzantines, Genoese, Venetians, and Ottomans.
