The Alanya Fortess

The documentary depicts Alaiye
(Alanya), founded by Alaaddin Keykubat, one of the Anatolian Seljuk rulers who got hold of
central South Anatolia, and tells the story of how this Byzantian fortress, obtained without
bloodshed, was turned into a city in time.
Mystery Among the City Walls tells about the archeological excavations held within the Alanya
Fortress and studies on art history, reflecting the good and bad memories of the city and the
schemes that had been going on in the palace during the short period it has served as the capital.
Although a heavenly spot of Anatolia. Alanya has become a tourism center choking among concrete
buildings. The documentary also describes the future of the town which is not very promising
environmentally.
