The project has caused a stir among the public since it was first announced and is expected to liven up the city's tourism sector as a huge culture, art, recreation and green field project.OPEN-AIR SHOWSThe area on which the historical municipal building (present day municipal department of public works and engineering), Antalya's cultural heritage site Karaalioğlu Park, Bülent Ecevit Cultural Center and the previously demolished Atatürk Stadium erect will be an open-air City Museum.
