What Can I Do at Alanya Castle?
The castle was built in 1221 by the Seljuk Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat, who captured the city and had it rebuilt. There are 83 towers and 140 bastions in the castle. Nearly 400 cisterns were built to meet the water requirement of the city, which was located inside the walls in the Middle Ages. Some of the cisterns are still used today.
The castle was built on the remains of ancient fortifications, from the Byzantine and Roman periods. It rises 250 meters above the sea, at the top of a rocky peninsula, protected by the Mediterranean Sea on three sides.
Inner Castle İç Kaleİçkale (Inner castle) is an open air museum at the summit of the peninsula. Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman artifacts are found in the inner castle.
A path from Ehdemek leads to the inner castle at the top of the peninsula. There is an entrance fee here. On the left is a water cistern covered with red bricks. It is the largest of about 400 cisterns scattered around the castle and is still in use.
The Byzantine Church is one of the best preserved works in the citadel to date. The church was used as a small mosque during the Seljuk period.
