# Kız Kalesi island ruins

Original Blender architectural interpretation. Units are metres; Blender axes east/north/up and glTF east/up/south. Origin (31.461445832190037, 37.780645870190185). Local ground z=0; no surrounding terrain datum is implied.

This depicts ruined walls, surviving arches and bare limestone, not an imagined intact castle. Origin uses the independently georeferenced island record northeast of Kubadabad; the earlier tourism pin to the southwest was not the island. The roughly 72 × 54 m outline, rock elevation, fragment positions and wall heights are estimates from inspected 2023 AA photographs and published descriptions. Public OSM/Overpass endpoints returned rate limits during preparation; no surveyed GIS shoreline is claimed. Sparse vegetation, erosion and exposed shoreline vary with season and lake level. No archaeological room-plan reconstruction, completed towers, roofs or invented inscriptions. Photograph copyright remains with its source; no external photograph is embedded in the original textures. Reference correction: the local file labelled lake _07 Kız Kalesi shows a mosque interior and was excluded.
