During 5th and 6th centuries Antalya was under the sovereignty of Byzantium until Seljuks took over the city in 1085. The city changed hands six times between Turks and Byzantines. Antalya came under the rule of he Ottomans in 1391 and remained until World War I. Italian occupation after the war was withdrawn in 1921 after the War of Independence.
