Attaleia, which was seen as the center of bishopric during Byzantine rule, showed great development after it was taken over by the Turks. Since the modern city is built on the ancient settlement, there are very few ancient ruins in Antalya. The first of the ruins that can be seen is a part of the harbor breakwater, which is known as the old harbor, and the wall surrounding the harbor. The Hadrian’s Gate, which was restored on the outside of the city walls, is one of the most beautiful antiquities in Antalya.
