Syedra Archaeological Sitevisitor guide.

Located at roughly the 20th kilometer of the Alanya–Gazipaşa highway within Seki Village boundaries, Syedra is entered via a monumental gateway standing on the west. The city features plastered cisterns fed by natural springs, utilized from antiquity to modern times, meeting urban water needs alongside numerous other reservoirs. In a cave within the city, natural rock-cut niches are adorned with frescoes; used for religious rituals, it is known as the baptismal cave. In the eastern sector stands a magnificent Roman bath complex displaying mosaic pavement fragments on its floors. Directly west of the baths extends the city's colonnaded street in a north-south alignment, featuring niches along its northern wall. Excavations conducted since 1994 by the Alanya Museum Directorate reveal that the colonnaded avenue measured 250 by 10 meters, covered on the north by a timber roof carried on columns and featuring a stone-paved open thoroughfare on the south. Inscriptions documenting games, athletic contests, and festivals underscore the city's eminence. Other prominent structures include a temple, theater, shops, residences, and defensive city walls. Archaeological excavations have brought to light structural remains spanning from the 7th century BC to the 13th century AD.
