Turtles at the markets...
by dave_21
Hmmm, they have a funny way putting the price labels on stuff. First I thoght that they named them allready but when I looked closer I saw that every Turtle had a price label on the shield! Well it didn't harm the Turtles so I laughed a lot when I saw it! They are great with creating leather stuff, especielly leather-masks!
Alanya Harbor Dockyards
by H-TownJourneyman
The Alanya Dockyards, located next to the Red Tower in the harbor, was constructed by the Seljuks in 1228, under the command of Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat. The Sultan desired a location to build, house, and launch ships into the Mediterranean for the purpose of defending the empire against attacks from the sea. The Seljuks already had established a defense port on the Black Sea at Sinop, and after completion of the dockyards, along with the Red Tower and the Alanya Fortress, the Seljuks had the Mediterranean port they wanted. And the Sultan gained the title that he wanted - "Sultan Of The Two Seas".
The dockyards consist of 5 brick chambers that were used to house and protect ships while at port, as well as a large brick rectangular building used to assemble ships under concealment. Incidentally, the dockyards here at Alanya are the only remaining dockyards that were constructed by the Seljuks.
