Rating: 8,1/10 (230 votes)  Monument to the conqueror of Alanya – Sultan Aladdin Keykubat the First is located at the entrance to the city from the airport. Keykubat was the sultan who ruled Alania in the 13th century. From the first years of his life, Aladdin Keykubat the First showed himself as a far-sighted ruler and a successful military leader. During the conquest of Central Asia by the Mongols, the Sultan prudently fortified Sivas, Konya and Keiseri, setting up new towers in the cities and surrounding them with walls. In 1221, the Sultan recaptured the Kalonoros fortress, which belonged to the Cilician kingdom. Subsequently, by order of the Sultan, the length of the fortifications of the fortress was increased, and the port was rebuilt. Soon Alania was captured, and at the order of the Sultan, a monument was erected in the city, which became a symbol of the domination of sailors.
