History & cultural identity
Antalya, majestically sprawling across the sun-drenched turquoise coastline of the Mediterranean basin framed by the soaring limestone peaks of the Taurus Mountains, holds a monumental ancient Paleolithic, Hittite, Pamphylian, Lycian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman imperial civilizational legacy spanning over two millennia. Known anciently as Pamphylia and Attaleia (founded in the 2nd century BC by King Attalos II of Pergamon), the region flourished as a supreme maritime, commercial, and naval Mediterranean powerhouse. Its crowning historical glory is the UNESCO-candidate heritage fabric of Kaleiçi (Old Town), alongside world-renowned Greco-Roman architectural masterpieces such as Aspendos, Perge, Side, and the Seljuk architectural symbols like the Yivli Minare (Fluted Minaret).
