The Alanya Castle shipyards, also known as the Tersane or Tersane-i Amire, are historical shipyards located in Alanya, Turkey. These shipyards are part of the larger Alanya Castle complex, which is situated on a rocky peninsula overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

The shipyards date back to the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum period, with construction believed to have taken place in the 13th century. The Sultanate of Rum was a medieval Turkish state that succeeded the Great Seljuq Empire and ruled Anatolia.

The Alanya Castle shipyards played a significant role in the maritime activities of the time. They were used for the construction, repair, and maintenance of ships, showcasing the strategic importance of Alanya as a naval base. The shipyards are notable for their well-preserved stone docks and various chambers that were likely used for storage and other maritime purposes.

Today, the Alanya Castle shipyards are a popular historical site and a testament to the region's rich maritime history. Visitors can explore the well-preserved ruins and gain insights into the naval activities of the medieval period in Anatolia.
