The Symbol of Modern Antalya and the House of Festivals
One of Antalya's most recognized structures, the Glass Pyramid (Cam Piramit) is an iconic architectural marvel rising in the heart of Hasan Subaşı Culture Park (Atatürk Culture Park). Completed in 1997, the building takes its name from its pyramid form, created through the enchanting combination of steel and glass. Considered one of the most important exhibition and congress centers not only in Antalya but also in Turkey, this massive structure symbolizes the city's modern and artistic vision. Surrounded by ornamental pools and vast green spaces, it offers a peaceful event complex within the city.
The Center of International Events and the Golden Orange
The Glass Pyramid holds a special place in the world of cinema, particularly as it hosts many events and award ceremonies of the International Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival. In addition to its massive 4500-square-meter main hall, it is highly versatile with smaller halls serving different purposes and extensive outdoor exhibition areas. From scientific congresses to book fairs, and from artistic performances to international summits, this center keeps the pulse of the city and serves as the cultural bridge Antalya has built with the world.
