It is located within the borders of Bozdoğan Neighborhood, 6 km to the east of Anamur district, Mersin. Positioned on the shoreline of the Mediterranean, it is one of the very few Turkish forts that could remain intact in our time. Founded on a high hill and surrounding plains, Mamure Fortress was built on fundamentals of antiquity, like many other Anatolian fortresses.

These sections include the inner court in the east divided by high walls, the external fort in the west, and the citadel that was built on the rocks located on the south of the other structures. It has 39 turrets, water cisterns, a mosque, a public bath built outside, and 10 meters-wide moats surrounding the whole complex diked for security purposes. The mosque within the fortress, which bears the characteristic figures of Ottoman Architecture of the 16^{th century, was originally built during the reign of Karamanid Dynasty.}
