Pisarissos Antik Kenti

Pisarissos is an ancient city in northwestern Alanya, Antalya Province, Turkey, situated on the hilltop of Gavurbeleni between Hacilar and Esen Tepe villages. Dating to the Hellenistic and Roman periods, the city was surrounded by defensive walls of large stone blocks with a western gate flanked by towers. The plateau contains remains of olive processing facilities, residential buildings, an agora, and burial structures. The city name derives from an inscription found among the ruins, and the remains are in poor condition with no systematic excavation yet conducted.
