Tarihi Alanya Selçuklu Tersanesi

Alanya Shipyard Alanya Shipyard was built by Seljuk Sultan I. Alaeddin Keykubat in 1227-1228. Located near Kızılkule in Alanya, Turkey, the shipyard is the first Seljuk shipyard in the Mediterranean and was completed in one year. The sea-facing facade of the structure, consisting of five arched chambers, is 56.5 meters and its depth is 44 meters. Designed to take maximum advantage of daylight, the entrance gate has an inscription decorated with the sultan's coat of arms and rosettes. The shipyard includes a mosque, a guard room and a well that has become dull over time. With this shipyard, Alaeddin Keykubat earned the title of "sultan of the two seas" and the shipyard symbolized the maritime power of the Seljuks. Today, it serves as a maritime museum.

Definitely worth a visit in combination with the Red Tower. Interesting to see this old structure and how they build ships in ancient times.

Best of the cave/ red Tower / shipyrad trio. Buy the combo ticket.

Loved visiting this fortress tower right in the harbour on the sea edge. Its so well maintained and very impressive strong structure with magnificent views from the top. There is lots to see inside on various floors and all the exhibits are illuminated. Highly recommended.

As I entered this shipyard was falling in love with this place. It is full of mystique and history. The fact that the shipyard has been amazingly preserved till today is impressing. Ticket costs only 15TL. Staff is so friendly.

Beautiful old city wall which ends dead but at the end is the old shipyard. A combo ticket can be bought for the shipyard and red tower. The city wall is a very beautiful place to make pictures towards the sea side and wall going up to the castle.

A fascinating old shipyard with a charming pathway which is great for the photo shoot. you can buy a combo ticket for the red tower and the shipyard and it might take nearly 2 hours to visit both. Bring a bottle of water, especially in summer.

Not that much to see there, way smaller than I expected, to be honest. You can see almost everything from outside Although it’s great that the shipyard is still there
