Mersin ili, tarih boyunca bölgenin savunma ve egemenliğinde önem taşıyan yapılar olarak tanımlanabilecek çok sayıda kale yapısının inşa edildiği bir bölgede yer almaktadır. Özellikle Ortaçağ döneminde etkin olarak yerleşme ve savunma bakımından kullanılan kale yapıları, kuzeyden güneye limanlara ulaşan ticaret yollarının güvenliğini sağlamaktaydı. Makalede coğrafi konumu ve yapısal özellikleri bakımından özgün bir nitelik taşıyan Çandır Kalesi ele alınmıştır. Kalenin yalnızca bir savunma yapısı olarak değil, geniş bir alanı kaplayan yapılardan oluşan küçük bir yerleşim birimi olarak kurulduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Çalışmada Kilikya Bölgesi’nde Ortaçağ’da Bizans döneminde Ermeni baronluğuna ait olarak tanımlanan Çandır Kalesi üzerine yapılmış tarihsel çalışmalar incelenmiş, kale alanında günümüze ulaşan yapı kalıntıları belirlenmiştir. Günümüzde Çandır Kalesi’nde görülebilen doğal ve insan eliyle gerçekleşen yıkım, kale kompleksinin yapısal özelliklerinin yeniden tanımlanmasını gerekli kılmıştır.
Mersin is located in a region where many castle structures are built, which can be defined as important structures in the region's defense and sovereignty throughout history. The castle structures, especially in the Middle Ages, which were effectively used in settlement and defence, were ensuring the safety of trade routes that reached ports from north to south. The article discussed the Chandır Castle, which has an original character in terms of its geographical location and structural characteristics. It is understood that the castle was established not only as a defense structure, but as a small settlement unit consisting of structures covering a wide area. In the study, the historical work done on the Chandır Castle, which was defined as belonging to the Armenian baronity in the Byzantine period in the Middle Ages in the Kilikya Region, was studied, the remains of the building in the castle area were determined to date. Today, the natural and human-handed destruction that can be seen in the Chandır Castle has made it necessary to re-identify the structural characteristics of the castle complex.

Especially in the Middle Ages, the castle structures, which were used effectively in terms of settlement and defense, ensured the security of the trade routes reaching the ports from north to south. It is understood that the fortress structures were established at strategic points on the main transportation and trade routes. In the research, the Çandır Castle, which has a unique character in terms of its geographical location, has been the subject of the study. It is understood that the castle was built not only as a defensive structure but as a small settlement consisting of structures covering a large area. In this article, historical studies on the Çandır Castle, which was defined as belonging to the Armenian baron in the Cilician Region during the Middle Ages, were examined and the remains of the building surviving in the castle area were identified. The natural and man-made destruction that can be seen in Çandır Castle today requires the redefinition of the structural features of the castle complex.
