Alanya Castle, Antalya
Located on a peninsula, Alanya Castle hosted Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman civilizations. The location of the castle has always made it a place that everyone wanted to conquer.
Alanya Castle took its present form during the Anatolian Seljuk period, when Alanya was the capital of the Anatolian Seljuks and experienced its most glorious years. During these years, the Red Tower was also added to the walls. The arched structure you see by the sea near the Red Tower is the #shipyard, the only one of its kind from that period, which enabled the Seljuks to become a powerful force at sea.
Why not visit Alanya Castle and feel the remains of this power?
