Alanya tourist places

 

In Alanya, the Seljuk citadel, which dates back to 1226, is still well preserved and beautifies the city.
This castle is like an identifier for the city and has its signature on all the pictures of the city.
In 2007, the castle was renovated.
Inside the castle is the mosque and caravanserai of Sulaimaniyah, which was built by Suleiman Shah in a magnificent way.

Another historical monument of Alanya is Kızlelı kule or Red Castle.
Sultan Kiqbad I, a prominent architect, brought Abu Ali from Aleppo, Syria, to Alanya to design the building.
The castle is also one of the best examples of medieval military architecture.

The castle and caravanserai of Alara near Manavgat were also built with authority by Kiqbad and turned into a museum and heritage center.

Ataturk House and Museum

Ataturk’s house and museum

preserved from its brief stay in the city on February 18, 1935, is a good example of the interior of a traditional Ottoman house, containing artifacts from the 1930s.

This house was built between 1880 and 1885 in the style of “karnıyarık” (stuffed eggplant).

Bright colors and red ceilings are often enforced by neighborhood councils, giving the modern city a pastel glow.

The Alanya Museum is housed in a 1967 Republican-era building inland from Cleopatra Beach.
