Chronology

    Osman Çelebi of Teke, trying to retake Antalya, was killed in January 1423 by the Ottoman commander of Teke Karahisarı; the Teke principality ended.

    Sultan: Murad II
  2. 1919
    Left Ottoman rule

    Citing the Armistice of Mudros, the Italians occupied the city on 29 April 1919.

    Sultan: Mehmed VI
  3. 1921
    Became Ottoman

    The two-year occupation ended when the Italians began to evacuate on 1 June 1921.

How the total is counted: years of actual Ottoman rule are added up. Temporary occupations shorter than a year (that were reversed) are not subtracted; they appear as notes in the chronology.

In the atlas

On the atlas map the city lies in the region “Teke–Hamid (Antalya–Isparta–Burdur)”. Map colours work at region level, so the city's own dates may differ from the region's by a few years.
