There are 12 bastions on the walls of 30-40 m height, made of large cut stones. There are different opinions about the first construction date of the castle.

Due to the white limestone hill on which it was built, the building was called Beyaz Kale (Kal'etül Beyza / Beyda), it was built in the 13th century. The Birecik fortress was repaired three times: the Romans (30.30- AD 395), the Francs (1098-1150 AD) and the Mamelukes Period (1277-1484).
