Alanya Shipyard

The shipyard spans 57 meters in length and 40 meters in depth, featuring five vaulted sections separated by pointed arched walls made of cut stone.

Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat initiated the construction of this Mediterranean shipyard in 1228 as part of his naval expansion strategy for maritime trade.

The facility transformed from an active shipbuilding center into a maritime museum, displaying ancient navigation tools, ship models, and traditional construction methods.

Visitors can access the shipyard through the central area of Alanya, with the site positioned next to the Red Tower and featuring multiple exhibition spaces.

Each of the five chambers, known as eyes, contains different elements including a freshwater well, ancient cranes, and original stone construction techniques.
