Unfortunately, the cool bronze sculpture of the hand has been replaced by a "Soviet-style" stone sculpture of two people. Not a fan of the new art, lol.

According to currently accepted traditions, the actual founding of the present-day city of Antalya took place in 158/159 BC by King Attalus II of Pergamon (Attalos II). Initially, the city's name was "Attaleia" after the aforementioned king. Through an inheritance arrangement, the kingdom of Attalus was integrated into the Roman Empire starting in 133 BC. Pamphylia split into a multitude of different groups and rulers. These were primarily dedicated to piracy in the Mediterranean. These isolated groups and rulers were ended by Pompey in 67 BC. As already described, Antalya already possessed a large and important port at that time. In the first century AD, this port was probably (according to tradition) a travel stop of the Apostle Paul. This is reflected in the biblical Acts 14:25f. From the fifth century AD, a church can be found within a town in Antalya. This is today's "Kesik Minare Camii." In 130 AD, Emperor Hadrian Attaleia visited the site. The so-called Hadrian's Arch commemorates this to this day. According to a modern tourist guide, this arch is the only remaining entrance gate to the ancient city of Antalya (to the harbor). The city wall ran to both the left and right of Hadrian's Arch (Hadrian's Gate). The arch was built on four pedestals. It features a total of three archways and various ornaments and pillars. Visually, the gate or arch is reminiscent of the Roman triumphal arch. Source: antalya-urlaub.com/geschichte-antalyas.php

Located along the stunning Mediterranean coast, Karaalioğlu Park is one of Antalya's most popular green oases. This expansive park offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, history, and panoramic views that capture the spirit of Turkey's southern coast. Located in the heart of Antalya's city center, the park is a peaceful retreat for locals and tourists alike. Whether you're looking for a peaceful morning stroll, a picturesque sunset, or a glimpse into Antalya's rich culture, Karaalioğlu Park offers an unforgettable experience. The history of Karaalioğlu Park begins in the 1940s when it was opened as a public green space. Initially named İnönü Park in honor of Turkey's second president, it was later renamed after a local landowner whose land contributed to the park. Even before its official opening, the coastal area served as a gathering place for Antalya's residents in the early 20th century. The vision of transforming it into a large urban park was realized by Mayor Haşim İşcan, who recognized the need for green space in the growing city. The park covers approximately 140,000 square meters and stretches along the cliffs south of the old town. This strategic location made it not only a recreational area but also a witness to Mediterranean history. Source: https://exploreantalyakaleici.com/de/karaalioglu-park

The foundations of the Saat Kulesi Clock Tower date back to Roman times and were part of the city's fortifications. The square, crenellated cuboid containing the clock was placed on the pentagonal base in the 19th century. Thus, it connects two defining eras in Antalya's history. At the Clock Tower, paths intersect: Uzun Carsi Sokak leads through the old town down to the harbor. To the west, the palm-lined promenade of Cumhuriyet Caddesi, with its tea gardens and restaurants, runs. From here, you have a good view of the harbor and the sea. Opposite the Clock Tower are the bazaar and a pedestrian zone, where the aroma of Turkish cuisine wafts from inexpensive restaurants. To the east, the shopping mile of Atatürk Caddesi, with its elegant boutiques, runs along the old town wall. Source: maps.adac.de/poi/uhrturm-muratpasa

Hadrian's Gate (Turkish: Üçkapılar = "the three gates") is a significant landmark of Antalya, the ancient city of Attaleia, as is the famous harbor in the old town of Kaleici. The honorary gate, integrated into the city wall and flanked by two towers, was built to commemorate a visit by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Since Hadrian traveled to Asia Minor between 121 and 125 AD and between 128 and 132 AD, the building's dating is disputed. The magnificent decorations still give an idea of the opulence of the ancient period. The building had two dedicatory inscriptions, the one that no longer exists, bearing the title Olympios. The emperor assumed this title in 129 AD, which is why this inscription could only have been added after this date. At least the southern tower, facing the gate, was dedicated to Hadrian's sister, Domitia Paulina, by Julia Sancta. Since the sister died shortly after Antinous around 130 AD, the tower was probably donated before Hadrian's second voyage.

Hadrian's Gate was built in 130 AD to commemorate the visit of the Roman Emperor Hadrian to Attaleia (the ancient name of Antalya). Originally founded by King Attalus of Pergamon, the city became part of the Roman Empire and flourished as an important Mediterranean port. The gate served as a monumental gateway through the city walls surrounding the ancient city. The gate was largely unknown to the Western world until the Irish-British hydrographer Sir Francis Beaufort documented it in his travel journal, published in 1817. At that time, the gate had a second story, which no longer exists. It is believed that statues of Emperor Hadrian and his family once crowned the structure. Extensive restoration work began in the 1950s after the gate was rediscovered through the collapse of outer walls. The work included the removal of damaged walls, the exposure of the original Roman paving stones, and the conservation of bronze letters, which are now on display in museums around the world.
