ANTARES, the first neutrino telescope in seawater operated in the Mediterranean for over 15 years before being decommissioned and dismantled in 2022. The ANTARES Legacy paper summarizes two decades of neutrino searches in the Mediterranean Sea, detailing the challenges, achievements, and scientific results. The paper presents the final analysis of cosmic diffuse neutrino flux based on 4541 days of data, reports constraints on steady neutrino sources in the Southern sky, and synthesizes multi-messenger searches, including neutrinos linked to TXS0506+056—the first discovered high-energy neutrino source.
