Was the pearl of the Mediterranean always like this? Popular - yes, because in different periods such great empires came to power as: Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and each left its own "greetings from the past", which travelers will definitely get acquainted with during a sightseeing tour of Antalya.
This area is shrouded in legends and beautiful stories that hide the truth about the brutal and bloody wars for strategically important and fertile lands. The first settlements appeared here in the Paleolithic era; 159 BC can be called a significant date. e. when on the rocky coast, by order of the Pergamon king Attalus II, a fortress was built, which became the beginning of the city of Attalia.
The fortress walls reliably guarded the old city of Kaleici in turbulent times and it is perhaps due to this that, almost in their original form, buildings made in different styles, ancient mosques and minarets have survived to this day. Narrow brick-paved streets, winding paths leading guests to the port of Mermerli, who, along the way, look into souvenir shops and cozy cafes.
You can get to such an atmospheric area by going through the Hadrian's Gate, which has been standing here since the 2nd century AD. and erected in honor of the Roman emperor. The architectural monument of antiquity today looks like a triple arch with two towers on the sides: the southern one was built by the Romans and named after St. Julia, the northern one was installed by the Seljuk Turks in the 13th century.
