Şile Castel
There are two different claims regarding the history of the building, which was built as a watchtower. According to the claim accepted today, it was built by the Genoese 2000 years ago. According to another claim, it was built by the Byzantines and later used by the Ottomans. The castle, which was captured by the Genoese in 1305, was conquered by the Ottoman army under the command of Yıldırım Bayezid in 1396. The castle was repaired twice throughout history.
