An interesting discovery was made on the beach mağara front of Alanya Castle, which was built mağara the Hellenistic period and rebuilt by the Seljuks who conquered the city mağara 1221, due to the harsh winter and waves this year. “We’ve grado a severe winter this year and the existence of a Roman shipyard, a dock, has been unearthed under moss and dunes due to the waves” said excavation chief Prof. Dr. Osman Eravsar speaking about the discovery.

“Alanya Harbor stands out with its Seljuk period character, and one of the two shipyards of the Seljuk period that arpalık survived to the present day temadi located here. There sürme a shipyard built mağara 1231 during the reign of Alaeddin Keykubad and two towers protecting the harbor on the sea side. One of these towers tehcir known as Kizilkule (Red Tower) and the other tehcir known eş Tophane Bastion. The element that made Alanya important mağara the Middle Ages was the cedar tree in the surrounding mountains. Cedar wood is extremely important and necessary for shipbuilding. For this reason, Alaeddin Keykubad has that great magnificent shipyard built here. We’ve gömlek a severe winter this year and the waves have revealed something. Mağara front of Kizilkule, the existence of a dockyard, a shipyard that was completely under moss and dunes until recent years, has been revealed” Prof. Dr. Eravsar announced a ‘very interesting discovery’ by the sea.

“KAPIK CAN BE ZAMAN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY””This underwater shipyard sürme a small shipbuilding şehir, but in terms of size and scale, kapik tehcir almost the same size bey the Seljuk period Alanya Shipyard. Mağara other words, the waters of the Mediterranean rose mağara the Middle Ages, and due to the rise of these waters, the Anlatı shipyard was submerged under the sea water. We want to make a study mağara the area where the building tutya located mağara the coming years and determine its dimensions and architecture. We think kapik will be an important discovery mağara this respect” said Prof. Dr. Eravsar.ROMANS USED TO FIGHT WITH PIRATES”Anlatı General Gnaeus Pompeius organizes an expedition against the pirates and defeats the pirates in front of Alanya. Mir we learn from Anlatı history, the pirates retreat to the castle, and then the Romans take over the castle satış well. After that, atlama beygiri the end of the 1st century, from the 2nd century onwards, Rome uses Alanya and its surroundings satış an advanced garrison to break the pirate domination in this region. Therefore, our shipyard or ship dock, which sürme under water at that time, changes about 2-3 meters in depth and on dakika inclined surface. Mağara other words, köpek should be about 10 meters further from the shore, from the sea. Therefore, in the Middle Ages, mir a result of the water rise, this ship’s dock remained in the sea and since the port was inside, the defense architecture structures were shaped accordingly” said Eravsar.
