  History of Alanya:  There is no exact knowledge about the date of first settlement in Alanya. Evidence that human skeletons and fossils were discovered in the excavations at the Kadirini Cave, İn ancient time called this region as pamphylia, and the Hittites included Kilikia and Pamphylia into their dominion in the XIV th. century B.C.

 That the word 'Pamphylia' means 'multiracial. Alanya was known to the Greeks as 'Coracesium', Roman 'Kalonoros', Seljuks 'Alaiye' and Turks 'Alanya'  Although the whole of Kilikia was invaded by the Great Antiochus III., the Roman Emperor, in 224-188 B.C. it preserved its independence because of the difficulty encountered in the siege and conquest of Coracesium.

 The Coracesium finally captured by a pirate Typhon, went even further to threaten the Assyrian Kingdom and went on to exercise piracy as an easy way of living and in this period it retained its independence. Corsairs built a thick wall by using large stones with no cement from the present Arab Evliyası to Ehmedek and used the caves as treasuries and also held in custody his hostages up to payment of a ransom. They had the courage to sneak into the shores of the Roman Empire a powerful empire of the period.

 With the intention of freeing the people from their hunger problems, this notorious pirate leader was wiped out by the battle proclaimed on him by Anthiochus in 139 B.C. The pirates regained strength later, to find an eventual solution, the Roman emperor appointed Anthiochus with extensive powers. In spite Anthiochus enlarged the Empire's borders the pirates day by day grew even stronger and continued to capture many towns and cities along the shores. This time to find an absolute ending to these harassment's the Roman Emperor appointed Pompeus who was one of the most powerful commanders of the army to put a stop to the pirates activities and with his merciless attacks from the land and sea this commander wiped out the pirates that they could not develop strength again.

 The Romans who ruled these regions in every sense handed over the Cilicia region to Antonius after the death of Caesar . Octavius, competitor of Antonius, declared a war against him. Antonius and Cleopatra were in Greece and their army lost the war, Octavious captured the whole region. In this period the cedar and pine trees extending as far as the coast had been cut by Cleopatra and sent to Egypt to be used in the construction of ships for her fleet. In the time of Trojan coins were minted in Coracesium. In medieval times, a castle of Calanoros was built on the ruins of Coracesium. Having came under the rule of Byzantines after Roman Empire, it’s name changed from Coracesium into Calanoros at that period. A church built in the castle after accepting of christianity by locals with others in Pamphylia and Cilicia. The region that became not strategic announced a patriarchate center of christianity in this period. Calanoros that was a Roman city in this period retained it’s indepence against Arabic attacks due to it’s geographic position difficult to be captured. Seljuks decided for Calanoros to dominate because they thought it’s possible only capture this struggle restrict to become dominion in whole Mediterranean. Ertokuş governor of Antalya authorized Calanoros to capture, encompassed the castle just after a attack plan. He besieged the city by land and sea. At the time, Calonoros was in the hands of a certain Kyr Vart, a member of an independent Christian dynasty. On realizing that defeat was inevitable, Vart did not resist and surrended in 1221

 The city was named Alaiye just after the order of Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat to his army on the way of Antalya, inside Alara Fortress about that performing an attack onto the city to join the Seljuks lands as soon as possible. Alaiye after the Sultan, reached its peak of glory during his reign and became the scene of great cultural activities and the second capital and winter residence of the Seljouks. The shipyard and watcher of it the Red Tower were built in this period. After the collapse of the Seljuk state, this area passed into the control of the Karamanoğulları dynasty and was sometimes administered by local rulers swearing allegiance to them. In 1471, during the reign of Fatih Sultan Mehmet, ( Fatih the Conqueror ), the city was controlled by a local ruler Kılıç Aslan Bey from Karamanids and the first attacks by a commander of Fatih named Rum Mehmet could not able to capture the city then the Ottoman army under the command of Gedik Ahmed Paşa, included the city within the borders of the Ottoman State in 1471. After capturing by Ottomans some reconstructions began in the castle and around. In 1571 Alaiye was annexed to Cyprus then to Konya as an administrative district governed by a Bey in 1864 and finally to Antalya in 1868. It has been getting richer from 1221 till now as a Turkish city with it’s cultural Turkish heritage

 The Citadel Of Alanya,  The Citadel of Alanya, the walls of which are nearly 6.5 kilometres long, is on a peninsula whose height is up to 250 metres from the sea level. Although the settlement on Alanya peninsula, also known as Kandeleri, dates back to the Hellenistic Era, its cultural characteristics that can be seen today are thanks to Selcuks of the 13th century.

 The citadel was constructed on the demand of the Sultan of Selcuks, Alaaddin Keykubat, who conquered and had the city rebuilt in 1221. The citadel has 83 towers and 140 bastions. Nearly 400 cisterns were built to supply the city surrounded by walks in the medieval times with water. Some of the cisterns are still used today. The walls were built in a well-planned manner; downwards to Ehmedek, İçkale, Adama Atacağı, the upper part of Cilvarda Bay, Arap Evliyası Burcu and Esat Burcu, then through the gun house and the dockyard and they end up in Kızılkule-İçkale, an open-air museum, is located at the peak of the peninsula. Alaaddin Keykubat, the Sultan, had his palace built there.

 Today the citadel is still inhabited by people. In front of wooden and brick houses of historical value, silk and cotton are woven, white gourds are painted in different figures and authentic meals are served in small gardens. There are also restaurants and cafés on the way to the citadel and on its sides overlooking the harbour. The citadel is open to traffic. It takes you nearly an hour to walk to the citadel   It's in the harbour. The octagonal shaped building that's the symbol of the city is a work by Selcuks of the 13th century. It was built in 1226 by Ebu Ali Rehç el Kettani, a master builder from Aleppo and had built the citadel of Sinop before on the demand of Alaaddin Keykubat, the Sultan of Selcuks. It was made of red bricks, the upper parts of which had been fired, since stone blocks were difficult to lift at a certain height, thus it was given the name of Kızılkule (Red Tower).  Marble blocks of the antiquity are seen in the walls of the citadel. The height of the tower that is octagonal in shape is 33 meters and it is 29 meters in diameter, its each wall is 12.5 metres long. There are five floors, including the ground floor. You can go to the top of the tower with the help of stone stairs that are high-spaced and have 85 steps. Sunlight coming from the top of the tower even reaches the first floor. There is a cistern in the middle of the tower. The tower was built in order to protect the harbour and the dockyard from naval attacks and was used for military purposes for centuries. Being restored in 1950s, the tower was opened to visitors in 1979, and its first floor began to be used as the museum of Ethnography

  Damlataş Cave : Damlataş Cave was discovered in 1948 quite by accident while minig for building of the harbour. It is located at the western foot of hold peninsula. There is a 50 m passage at the entrance. After the passage there comes a cylinderical cavity. This leads to the basement of the cave. The stalactite and stalagmites inside the cave were formed in 15 thousand years. Besides its fascinating beauty the cave is famous with its air which is beneficial to asthmatic patients. Following the rumors that asthmatic benefited from breathing the air in the cave, scientists analyzed a sample of the air to verify the fact that the air was indeed beneficial to patients suffering from non-allergic asthme. They found that the air in the cave contains 10 to 12 times more carbon dioxide than normal air and has % 95 humidity. Temperature in the cave is 22 degrees centigrade. Both the radioactivity and ionization in the cave may contribute to the benefits derived from breathing the air in the cave. Entrance is due to payment. There is a small market around and in front of the cave is a beach
