Niğde Castle: Niğde Castle was built on the northern part of the mound known as Alaaddin Peak. Because there is no inscription, we cannot be sure of the date of construction. Most probably it was built in the 9th century in Byzantine times. It gained its final form during the reigns of Kılıçarslan II (1155–1192), Rüknettin Süleyman Şah II (1196–1204) and Alâeddin Keykubat I (1220–1237) in the Anatolian Seljuk age. The structure consists of the inner castle and the residences surrounded by a large rampart wall that constitutes the outer castle. The inner castle and ramparts were built on a medium height hill on the east of the city stretching towards north and south. Although it no longer functions as a fort; the inner castle, the Alâeddin Mosque (1223), the Hatıroğlu Fountain (1267–68) and the Rahmaniye Mosque (1747) alongside the Alâeddin Peak still exists there.

The Clock Tower: In Niğde, the Clock Tower (1901-2) was erected on a tower at the southwest corner of the inner castle by knocking it down by half and then filling it. There are four sections to the clock tower that outwardly resembles a Minaret. The base and body are of a ten-sided design. Although the tradition of building clock towers dates back to the 14th century in Europe, they did not start to appear in Ottoman lands until the 18th century. The first examples in Anatolia are from the early 19th century. The edict of Sultan Abdülhamit to provincial governors on the 25th year of his accession (1901-2) accelerated the tradition. There are only fifty (50) clock towers that reflect the architectural style of that time to have survived to this day.

Ulukışla Öküz Mehmet Paşa Complex: The main consideration in the building of the Ulukışla Öküz Mehmet Paşa Külliye was as a Post House. The complex is located on a marketplace in the centre of Ulukışla which is on the Ankara-Adana highway. The complex of buildings is locally known as Paşa Hanı, Kışla or Ulukışla Caravansary. Research shows that as well as commercial travelers the complex was used as the barracks of soldiers going on campaign. The fact that Öküz Mehmet Paşa, who built the complex was originally from Ulukışla was an agent in the construction of the building. The inspiration for the poem called “Han Duvarları” (“Walls of the Inn”) by, a well known poet in Turkish Literature, Faruk Nafiz Çamlıbel, was this complex. As Öküz Mehmet Paşa, noticed that this place didn't have any barracks en route to the Iran Campaign in 1615, which he set off due to the Jelali rebellion caused by the retreat that started in the 17th century in the Ottoman State and then he had the complex built after returning from the campaign.
