Alanya Castle

Do you need a war to take a castle, or a wedding? The story goes that when the Seljuk Sultan Alâeddin Keykubad arrived before this giant rock jutting into the sea in 1221, Kir Vart, lord of Kalonoros, surrendered the castle after the siege and gave his daughter to the sultan… History books remember the siege, folk tales the wedding; which is more worth remembering, we leave for you to decide.
