The history of Alanya in black and white photographs

The Municipality of Alanya continues to study the archive of black and white photographs of the city. Mayor Adem Murat Yudzhel: "Our archive contains more than 10 thousand photos. We are doing important work to protect our rich cultural heritage and local values in order to pass them on to future generations."

The photographs depict many traditions and customs of the past concerning social life, culture, tourism, crafts, weddings and ceremonies. Commemorative photos are regularly exhibited at various venues in the city during holidays, festivals and other events. Panoramic black-and-white photographs can also be seen on the walls of the Red Fortress in the historical part of Alanya. The most significant images were collected in a book. At the moment, the second edition of the book is being prepared for publication with even more interesting photos.
