The ruined site of a medieval fortification and settlement located to the southeast of Sinanköy (formerly Pravadı), to the northeast of Edirne (Adrianople). Parts of the fortifications are exposed and clearly visible (albeit in a ruined state), while most are overgrown or delineated in earth. Probaton guarded the northeastern approaches to Byzantine Adrianople and served as the seat of a bishopric.
