Aspendos Theatre, one of the rare ancient buildings that has been excellently preserved, is located in the Serik district. Built in the 2nd century BC, this colossal theatre, with a capacity of 15,000 spectators, hosts a variety of festivals every year. The ancient Roman city that houses the theatre also offers the chance to see important historical structures such as aqueducts, an agora and a basilica.

Like other ancient Pamphylian cities, Sillyon Ancient City is thought to have been established after the Trojan War. The city, which produced its own coins in the 3rd century BC, sits atop steep cliffs, representing the finest example of Hellenistic defence. The challenging ascent to the city is well worth the panoramic view.

Built in 1901 by Grand Vizier Küçük Sait Pasha in honour of Sultan Abdul Hamid II's 25th year on the throne, the Clock Tower stands 14 metres tall from the ground and 8 metres from the base of the bastion. It has become one of Antalya’s symbolic structures and can be seen in the Kale Kapısı area.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk visited Antalya three times and famously stated, "Antalya is undoubtedly the most beautiful place on earth." The mansion where he stayed during his visits has been converted into a museum to preserve his memories. The Atatürk's House Museum, open since 1986, displays Atatürk's personal belongings, photographs, study room, and commemorative coins.
