    Akkale is the popular name given to ruins of a building complex in Kumkuyu town in Mersin Province, Turkey. It was a port administration complex of the Roman Empire built in the 4th century AD. A part of the buildings was repaired during the Byzantine era probably after the great earthquakes of the 6th century AD.
