Suleymaniye Mosque
The Suleymaniye Mosque, which you will find near the Byzantine fortress, is called the architectural value. This building is made of stone with wooden windows and gates, which are decorated with very beautiful carvings, it has a square shape and consists of only one minaret. The uniqueness of the structure is that in order to provide first-class acoustics (which was too difficult to obtain in the Middle Ages), 15 balls are suspended under the dome itself. This mosque is active, it begins its history in 1231, although the first building was destroyed and was to be restored only in the 16th century, but here it is, just safely survived to this day.

Archaeological Museum
The list of the most valuable sights of Alanya will not be complete if the local Archaeological Museum is not included in it. There are so many unique finds and objects in it that some of the expositions do not fit in the building and therefore are located in the courtyard. There are many artifacts, ancient writings (including the handwritten text of the Koran), objects and clothes, coins and weapons. Among the exhibits is a Phoenician stone, the inscriptions on which date back to 625 BC, as well as a tombstone dating back to the first century BC.

Lighthouse
Nearby is another interesting building - a lighthouse, which is a monument to the mighty Ottoman Empire. The snow-white building was originally made in France (in 1880), then dismantled and transported to the Turkish Mediterranean coast. Despite the fact that the lighthouse itself is small, the light from it spreads over a distance of 200 miles.
