Historical Places:
Gazipasa can be called as a city of history. One of the kindoms founded within the Aegean an Mediterranean regions in the time of Roman Empire was the Kingdom of Stranapolis, which is the kingdom founded on today´s settlement area of Gazipasa.
This area was until recently named SELINUS after the daughter of Stranapolis King. This area is 3 km south of Gazipasa/Central, hich is about 45 km away from Alanya. The ancient city was founded on the slope of a hill stretching to the sea as an elbow. On the hill is the city´s acropolis. In the place where Hacimua Creek flows to the sea, it is possible to se the reaminders of a 2-room bath with a cradle vault.
Although the columns of Agora are lost on the seaside, stylobat tracks can still be seen. Going to the east of Agora, a building with apsis (church) is observed. It is very possible that this structure was built on an ancient temple. To the east of the church there is a monumental building. Being the only Islamic building of this ancient city, the entrance door is decorated with red zigzag motifs belonging to Seljuk era. This ruin must belong to a mansion. The grave structures in the metropolis of the city are the mausoleums with cradle vault and they reveal the burying traditions of the Clician region. Some of the water arches of the city have survived to the present days. Roman Emperor died in this city whilest returning from his orient campaign and his ashes were taken to Rome. Ancient Selinus city, Adanda an Güney Castles, king and bishop graves, ancient roads and bridges, water arches and the historical churches are worth seeing. |
