Admire the historical treasures of Alanya

The Alanya Archaeological Museum has been around for over half a century, originally centred on the twin themes of archaeology and ethnography. Following a renovation, its sole focus is on archaeology. The oldest exhibit in its extensive collection dates from 625 BC, which is a stone inscribed with the Phoenician language.

The Alanya Archaeological Museum displays pieces of marble, terracotta, bronze and mosaics. One of its most famous artefacts is a bronze statue of Heracles, dating from the 2nd century AD. Later works from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods are also worth seeing here. Don’t miss the beautiful museum garden, which occupies a former Ottoman graveyard.
