Serinhisar is a town and district of Denizli Province of Turkey.

Other names include Karia (in Latin) and Kızılhisar (literally "a red castle").

The latter is the name given by the Seljuk Turks, as there were brick built fortifications here.

The name was changed to Serinhisar (literally "a cool castle") in 1987, apparently because "red castle" was too symbolic of communism.
