Serinhisar is a municipality and district of Denizli Province, Turkey. Its area is 256 km2, and its population is 14,355 (2022).

==Name== 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.
