Cape Baba (Шаблон:Lang-tr) or Cape Lecton (Шаблон:Lang-grc),[1] is the westernmost point of the Turkish mainland, making it the westernmost point of Asia. It is located at the village of Babakale ("Father Castle"), Ayvacık, Çanakkale, in the historical area of the Troad. There was a lighthouse at Cape Baba that was called Lekton (Latinized as Lectum) in classical times,[2] anglicised as Cape Lecture.[3]
