High up in the rugged mountain range - the so-called Amazonian mountains,
near the spring of the Thermodon (today Terme Çay),
there are the ruins of a fortress which is extremely inaccessible.
Though unapproachable and very destroyed, it still represents a mighty monument
which conveys that this fortress must have been an important place.
Due to its location and its construction it seems probable that this was the last retreat for the hard-pressed Amazons.
