Doğu Garajı ("Eastern Bus depot") is a historical plot in Muratpaşa, Antalya, which was used to serve as depot of public buses in urban service and terminal for eastern districts of Antalya Province.
A renovation project was proposed in the 1990s by Metropolitan Municipality of Antalya mayored by Hasan Subaşı, which was resulted in an interim " Festival Bazaar" in the 2000s. In the late 2000s, Mayor Menderes Türel broke ground for another renovation project. During the excavations, the southern part was discovered as a necropolis, where remains dating back to the 3rd century BC were unearthed, [1] suggesting that Attalea, what is now Antalya, was a rebuilding and expansion of a town earlier than King Attalus II of Pergamon's foundations.
