Visiting Alanya Castle by Car
A historic fortress with sweeping views over Alanya, and one of the most rewarding sights on the coast.
A Seljuk landmark above the Mediterranean
Rising high above the town on Turkey's southern coast, Alanya Castle has become the emblem of Alanya, often called the pearl of the Mediterranean. Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I of the Seljuks had it built in the 13th century, and today it is valued for both its history and its architecture. From a height of more than 250 metres, visitors look out over the whole of Alanya, the sea around it and the natural scenery of the coast.
What you will find inside the walls
A walk through the castle feels like a trip back in time: its walls, towers and old buildings still hide plenty of stories for curious visitors. DamlataÅŸ Cave and the Red Tower add to the cultural appeal of the site, and the beaches and green landscapes nearby are a magnet for holidaymakers. A visit here is not only about seeing a historic monument; it is also a chance to take in the remarkable natural setting of the region, which makes the castle a top stop for anyone who loves history or the outdoors.
