First Gobeklitepe, then Zeugma, and now Ishak Pasa Palace. This place looks liked it dropped right out of a fantasy novel. No?
Ishak Pasa Palace (circa 1685) seems a pretty nice pied-à-terre for Sybil (my MC), especially since the palace is gorgeous and waaaaay out in Doğubeyazıt. Few tourists find there way out there these days, but once upon a time, the palace was strategically situated on an important trade route. What do you know? Djinn love that abandoned palace thing.

Outside there are jagged mountains, bare plains, a town: all the stuff I need for an interesting setting.
BUT I still have work to do on the first ms and a second ms I'm planning for NaNoWriMo is set up in the forests of Trabzon. Guess I'll just have to let this idea roll around and gather some cobwebs in my head. Maybe the next time I think of the palace, I'll know exactly how to use it.

Beautiful--and definitely a great setting for a story!
I want to live there now and change my name to Sybil! :-). Thank you! Take care

In that top photo it looks like it's looking across the valley at Minas Tirith.
Wow. It's gorgeous.
Good luck with the ms. =)
wow. That DOES look straight out of a fantasy novel. Is that top picture real? Use it! Use it! :D
can't wait~
Oh, what fabulous ideas that inspires! I always think of palaces having town built up around them, but that abandoned thing has romance to it.
Glad you're doing NaNoWriMo! We need to be sure to connect there!
Gorgeous photos- it looks absolutely magical.
It looks beautiful! I especially like the first picture--imagine the view from the palace itself.
I would love to explore that palace. It does look magical and right out of a fantasy novel.
