Alanya erövrades av den seljukiska kejsaren Alaaddin I Kayqubad år 1221. Staden kallades då Alaiye, vilket betydde Alaaddins stad. Namnet utvecklades till Alanya under republikens era. Efter att Kayqubad I tog kontroll över Alanya började han använda staden som vinterresidens. Efter att ha färdigställt det första seljukiska varvet i Sinop vid Svarta havets kust, påbörjade Sultan Alaaddin byggandet av varvet i Alanya år 1228. Projektet slutfördes på ett år och bestod av ett vakttorn, en moské och ett kontor för varvets ingenjörspersonal. Varvet byggde inte bara fartyg för den turkiska flottan utan användes också för övervintring. Fartygen som tillbringade vintern i varvet behövde också försvar. Varvets arsenal producerade inte bara vapen till stridsfartygen utan användes också för att försvara det viktigaste varvet för den seljukiska flottan i Medelhavet. Varvet var så viktigt för seljukerna att flottans befälhavare tillbringade vintrarna i Alanya. Varvet användes av den turkiska Karamanli-kommunen under 1400-talet och av osmanerna efter 1471. Efter 740 år omvandlades Alanya-varvet till ett museum. Du kan besöka varvet genom att promenera längs stadsmurarna som sträcker sig från Röda tornet till Alanya-varvet.

Varvet är 57 meter brett och 40 meter djupt. Det består av fem valv som sträcker sig från 43 meter till 32 meter in i landet. Varje valv används idag som utställningshall. Den första sektionen hyser en gammal kran som användes för tungt arbete inne i varvet. En traditionell osmansk båt visas i den andra sektionen. Cekevele-träbåtar användes för logistik och försörjning tack vare sin snabbhet. En vacker träköld av en cekevele-båt placerades där år 2011 av Alanya kommun. Den tredje sektionen av museet rymmer en stormast och olika verktyg som användes vid skeppsbyggnad. En dricksvattenbrunn kan också ses i den tredje sektionen. Olika antika ankare visas i den fjärde sektionen. Jag blev imponerad av att se ankare gjorda av stenar i storleken av en modern kudde med tre hål i dem. Den sista och smalaste femte sektionen innehåller verktyg för navigering på haven. Valven är sammankopplade med varandra invändigt genom bågar byggda av terrakottategel. Varje valv har ventilationshål för dagsljus och rökutsläpp. Varvet vetter mot söder, vilket samlar dagsljus under hela dagen. Arsenalen bredvid varvet är under restaurering av Kultur- och turismministeriet samt Alanya kommun. Den kommer att omvandlas till ett sjöfartsmuseum inom en snar framtid. Idag kan besökare nå varvet genom en trevlig promenad från Röda tornet bredvid museet. Det finns en träväg inne i strukturen som gör besöket mycket enkelt. Dessutom är ett besök på Alanya-varvet kostnadsfritt.
