The Namık Kemal Dungeon is in the walled city of Famagusta. The Ottoman poet and writer Namık Kemal was held here in exile in the 1870s, and the cell is kept in his memory.

It takes only a short time to see, so it fits easily into a walk around the old city inside the Venetian walls. Famagusta is about 60 km south-east of Kyrenia.
