Turkish capture of Antalya in March 1207

The siege of Attaleia in March 1207 was the successful Seljuk capture of the city of Attaleia, a port in southwestern Asia Minor. The capture of the port gave the Turkomans a path into the Mediterranean, although it would be another century before they made any serious attempts into the sea.
