Prince Korkut Mosque

A fire in 1896 left the mosque damaged and unusable. Since the wooden cone of the minaret was destroyed in the fire, from that date the mosque was referred to by the people as the "truncated minaret" (kesik minare) and became a historical symbol.

The symbol has unfortunately been lost due to the Pseydor restoration in recent years.

Hadrian's Gate (Turkish: Üçkapılar = "the three gates") is a significant landmark of Antalya, the ancient city of Attaleia, as is the famous harbor in the old town of Kaleici.

The honorary gate, integrated into the city wall and flanked by two towers, was built to commemorate a visit by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Since Hadrian traveled to Asia Minor between 121 and 125 AD and between 128 and 132 AD, the building's dating is disputed. The magnificent decorations still give an idea of the opulence of the ancient period.

The building had two dedicatory inscriptions, the one that no longer exists, bearing the title Olympios. The emperor assumed this title in 129 AD, which is why this inscription could only have been added after this date. At least the southern tower, facing the gate, was dedicated to Hadrian's sister, Domitia Paulina, by Julia Sancta. Since the sister died shortly after Antinous around 130 AD, the tower was probably donated before Hadrian's second voyage.

Hadrian's Gate or Three Gates (Üç kapılar) is a monumental triumphal arch built on the city walls surrounding the city in honor of the Roman Emperor Hadrian's visit to Antalya in 130. It consists of three arched gates with four marble columns on both facades and two towers next to them.
