ÇANDARLI KALESİ
History of Çandarlı goes back to 4000 BC. The castle and city took its name from the Amazon woman ‘’Pitane’’. According to the local legend; the Amazon women warriors ruled the region and mainly in the coastal city and it became Pitane - which means ‘’Women’s Town or the Queen City. The city was occupied by Hittites, Persians, Lydian’s, Byzantines, Seljuks and finally Ottomans.
The rectangular Çandarlı Castle was built in 13th century by the Genoese. The castle was rebuilt in 15th century by the Ottomans. The town's landmark is the Ottoman castle built by the Grand Vizier Çandarlı (2nd) Halil Pasha (to distinguish from his homonymous grandfather). The castle, built to protect the Sultan Murat II who preferred to reside in nearby Manisa from a possible outside attack, is fully intact and open to visitors.
The castle is a good example of scant traces of the thick fortification walls - reinforced by struts. The castle with five towers and crenels are impressive. Restoration works still continue. An archaic male statue - a full sized naked man, is now displayed in Bergama Archeological Museum.
HISTORICAL SITES
Çandarlı's name in antiquity was Pitane. The ruins are situated slightly outside the town itself. The little Aegean port town of Çandarli, known as Pitane in ancient times, was fortified by the Genoese in the 1300s, who hoped to keep its facilities and trade in their hands exclusively.
After the Ottoman conquest of Anatolia in the 1400s, Sultan Mehmet II (The Conqueror) restored the fortress in the 1450s, or at least so says the well-worn marble inscription near the main gate into the fortress. Sultan Mahmut II restored it again in 1814, and the Turkish government did the final restoration in 1955, returning it to the shape it had during the time of the Conquest in the 1400s.
The town's landmark is the 15th century Ottoman castle built by the Grand Vizier Çandarlı Halil Pasha. The castle, built to protect the Sultan Murat II who preferred to reside in nearby Manisa from a possible outside attack, is fully intact and open to visitors.
