They write different things about this building on the Web. Someone started the speculation that this is an ancient infirmary/hospital. 100٪ there are no confirmations. The building shows that it was rebuilt (by the way, it is everywhere in Side). There are antique masonry and structures, something was completed in the Middle Ages. How the infirmary could be used. Moreover, the capital of one of the Crusader states was nearby in Antalya. By the way, there are many crosses of soldiers of Christ in the museum nearby. Apparently, they were buried next to the building. The feeling is unforgettable. To touch history with your hands.

Historians still cannot accurately identify this place. According to most versions, this is a Byzantine hospital built in the 6th century AD. It's just that these ruins resemble Seljuk hospitals of a later time, so people did not bother, they called this place a hospital. Anyway, no one will check and find out what happened here. Of all the ruins of Side, which are in open (free) access, it is the best preserved. Tourists from Iran even consider it a hotel. Here you can go down to the first floor (which has become a basement due to the layering of temporary layers), take pictures of yourself against the background of antiquity and hide for a while in the shadow of the old building from the sweltering heat. However, people do not care about history, use this place as a toilet and dump, fortunately there is no control. Be careful. There are also enterprising Turks here. If you two are together, they will offer to take a picture, and then they will demand money for it. Do not give in to provocations. andrew19701008
