Silifke Museum

The museum contains four exhibition rooms featuring sculptures, ancient coins, ethnographic items, and artifacts from multiple historical periods within a century-old building.

Archaeological activities in Silifke began in 1939 when findings were stored in a primary school building before the museum officially opened in 1973.

The collections include 2975 archaeological items, 1410 ethnographic objects related to Yörük life, 15875 coins, and 77 historical seals from various civilizations.

The museum displays stonemasonry items, column headings, sarcophagi, and Moslem tombstones in the outdoor yard area for public viewing.

The museum houses Luvian Hellenistic coins from the 5th century BC discovered at Meydancık Castle, located 80 kilometers west of Silifke.
