Approach up the cobbled track from the south. Within is a small mosque, and the reconstructed tomb of Kahraman Celal Baba, a mythical 13th century hero against the Mongol invasion. There's not much else within but you get a view of the city. The mausoleum at the foot of castle hill by Taş Köprü is for two other fallen defenders.
