Guvercinada significa a ilha dos pombos. A cidade de Kusadasi também se refere à ilha dos pássaros. Em tempos antigos, muitos viajantes mencionaram pássaros nidificando na pequena ilha em frente à cidade de Kusadasi, além dos pássaros migratórios do outono e da primavera. Em 2020, os Sítios do Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO adicionaram o castelo em Guvercinada, em frente à cidade de Kusadasi, sob a categoria de Castelos e Assentamentos Murados na Rota Comercial Genovesa do Mediterrâneo ao Mar Negro.

Os marinheiros genoveses construíram inicialmente o castelo em Guvercinada. Eles são conhecidos como os homens de negócios navegantes do Mediterrâneo, Egeu e Mar Negro. Enquanto expandiam sua rede de comércio marítimo, construíram centenas de castelos em ilhas dos três mares e colonizaram muitas cidades e territórios ao redor dessas águas. Quando os otomanos assumiram a região, ampliaram o pátio no topo do castelo para aumentar a segurança do porto da cidade de Kusadasi. O pátio interno e o arsenal na ilha foram construídos pelo grande almirante otomano Hayreddin Barbarossa em 1533.

A torre do castelo no centro da ilha tem aproximadamente 255 metros quadrados. Esta cidadela foi erguida sobre uma base que era usada como cisterna. O topo da fortaleza costumava ter canais de água para coletar água da chuva na parte inferior. Esses canais foram perdidos durante as muitas restaurações da estrutura. As paredes do castelo têm 3 metros de altura. A entrada do pátio fica no lado sul, protegida por duas torres. Centaurea Mykalea é uma planta endêmica da cidade de Kusadasi e está sob proteção. Você pode ver essa bela flor amarela durante sua visita ao castelo.

Em 1613, Silahdar Mehmet Pasha casou-se com a filha do Sultão Ahmed, Sultan Gevherhan. Como presente de casamento, a região de Kusadasi foi dada ao Pasha, e ele se tornou o Grão-Vizir do Sultão Ahmed. Após receber essa generosa doação de seu sogro, ele restaurou o castelo na ilha. Mehmed Pasha é conhecido como Mehmed Pasha, o Boi, pois seu pai era ferreiro de bois. Ele também é conhecido como o quebrador de escravos, pois reprimiu com sucesso a revolta dos soldados no Egito durante seu governo. Após quatro anos de serviço no Egito, ele começou a servir no cargo e recebeu o título de ‘noivo’ após se casar com a filha do Sultão Ahmed.

As paredes externas do castelo foram construídas em 1770 durante a Revolta Grega de Orlov, que incentivou os gregos à independência. A última restauração e reforço feitos no pátio ocorreram em 1826, durante a 'Guerra de Independência Grega'. Uma ponte foi adicionada em 1957 para facilitar o acesso, e o castelo tornou-se uma atração turística. O castelo de Guvercinada esteve em restauração de 2013 a 2016 e tem recebido turistas desde sua última abertura.
