The Alanya Castle is the most prominent landmark in the city and is perhaps the main tourist attraction of the city. The medieval castle dates back to the 13th century when it was built under the Seljuq Sultanate of Rûm after the conquest of the city in 1220. It is located at an elevation of about 250 metres on a rocky peninsula and is enclosed by walls that stretch on for over six kilometres. The castle overlooks the Pamphylian plain and Cilician mountains and offers dramatic views of the surrounding terrain and the entire city in the distance. A series of nearly 150 towers and 400 cisterns can be witnessed around the castle and were built to serve the castle during the early times. At present, the Alanya Castle is an open air museum and most parts of the castle are open to the public for viewing. It is the highlight of the city and is the must-see attraction when sight-seeing in Alanya.
