The resort town’s coastal and historical landmark
Alanya Castle’s present incarnation is the remains of a Seljuk fortress, which was constructed after Alaeddin Keykubat I's conquest of Alanya in 1220. However, fortifications have stood on this site since the 3rd century BC. Thanks to its strategic position, it affords spectacular and far-reaching views of the city.
