Kaleiçi (Inner Castle), which, besides presenting an example of a sociological aquarium, is also a very important historical site, has been home to numerous civilizations throughout history. Bearing traces of Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods, this historical place came under Turkish rule when Alaaddin Keyhüsrev, sultan of Anatolian Selcuk State, conquered Antalya in 1207 and continued to remain under Turkish sovereignty during the Ottoman Era after the Anatolian Selcuks. With the foundation of the Turkish Republic, this walled ancient city of historical, social and architectural significance served as a port city where small-scale exportation took place via ships and barges, also occupied a significant place in Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s visits to Antalya. Kaleiçi was an ancient cultural pot in the years prior to the 1960s and even until the 1970s when children hunted birds in the streets with slings in their hands, men, women and children spent long summer days on the beaches, fruit and vegetables were grown, some people earned their living by fishing, doors to houses were open in the summer as well as in the winter and neighborly relationships were sincere. Presenting a different picture until the 1960s, Kaleiçi is today at the heart of Muratpaşa, one of metropolitan sub-provincial municipalities of Antalya, whose outward appearance gradually changed with the early efforts of tourism in Antalya and has finally acquired its current form.},author={Fatih USLUER},year={2018},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
