Bu makalede tamamlanmış Doktora tezinin bir bölümünde bahsedilen yirmialtı kaleden biri olan Liman Kalesi hakkında yapılan çalışmalar ve edinilen bilgiler anlatılmaktadır. Anadolu’nun Akdeniz kıyı şeridinde bulunan ve deniz ulaşım yolları üzerindeki onlarca kaleden biri olan bu yapı, Kıbrıs’a yakınlığı, özgün mimarisi ve korunaklı limanıyla dikkat çekmektedir. Yazının amacı bu az bilinen kaleyi mimari ögeleri ile tanıtmak, belgelemek ve koruma sorunları hakkında çözüm önerileri sunmaktır. Belgeleme çalışmaları 2009 yılında yapılmıştır. Yapım tarihi henüz net olarak tespit edilemeyen kalenin mevcut durumu yerinde incelenmiş, ölçüler alınmış, aynı zamanda literatür araştırması yapılarak tarihçesi hakkındaki bilgiler aktarılmıştır. Kale mimarisine ilişkin elemanlar, mazgal, dendan, vb. ile kale içindeki yapılar incelenerek yapının kale mimarisi içindeki özelliği belirtilmeye çalışılmıştır. Koruma sorunları tespit edilmiş, korunmasına yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
