Yivli Minaret and Mosque

Highlight • Religious Site

The minaret is considered a landmark of Antalya. Mosque and minaret were built by the Selchucken about 800 years ago. The almost 40m high minaret can be climbed by stairs with 92 steps, from there you have a nice view over the old town.

Antalya's first city wall, dating from the Hellenistic period, was expanded in the 2nd century under Roman rule. Hadrian's Gate still stands from this structure today. In the 10th century, the Byzantine ruler commissioned the construction of a second wall, and in the 13th century, the Seljuks renovated it.

Hıdırlık Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

The Hidirlik Tower dates back to the 2nd century AD during the Roman Imperial period, when Antalya was known as Attaleia. While historians debate its original function, most evidence suggests that it was first built as a monumental tomb for a prominent Roman consul, possibly M. Calpurnius Rufus or M. Petronius Umbrinus.

The tower's structure reflects classical Roman engineering, with a square lower level and a cylindrical superstructure. Six fasces reliefs (symbolic objects carried by Roman lictors) can be seen on either side of the lower entrance door, confirming its Roman origins.

During the Byzantine period (5th–6th centuries AD), the tower underwent a significant transformation. It was incorporated into the city's defensive wall system and used as a lighthouse to guide ships safely into Antalya's harbor. This dual function as a defensive structure and navigational aid underscores its strategic importance.

Over the centuries, the Hidirlik Tower has served a variety of purposes. During the Seljuk period, it served as a pavilion, and later the Ottomans used it as a military warehouse and watchtower to monitor shipping in the Gulf of Antalya. This diversity of functions across different civilizations makes it a fascinating example of architectural adaptation.

Kesik Minare (Broken Minaret Mosque)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Kesik Minare Mosque, also called the Korkut Mosque or the Cumanın Mosque, stands in the streets of Kaleiçi in southern Turkey. It was originally built as a Roman temple in the 2nd century AD. In the 7th century, it was converted into a Byzantine church in honor of the Virgin Mary, but it was badly damaged during the Arab invasions in the 7th century. It was repaired in the 9th century. When the Sultanate of Rum conquered Antalya in the early 13th century, the church was converted into a mosque, with the actual minaret being added. When the Crusader King of Cyprus conquered Antalya from the Seljuks in 1361, it once again became a church, only to be converted into a mosque again during the reign of Sehzade Korkut. The main building was destroyed in a fire in 1800, but the minaret survived as the Kesik Minare. During the 2019 renovation, the upper cone and the Sherefe balconies were restored.

Hadrian's Gate (Üçkapılar), Antalya

Highlight • Historical Site

The Hadrian's Gate is one of Antalya's oldest buildings and was built in the first half of the 2nd century on the occasion of a visit by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Presumably, it is also so well preserved because it was later integrated as a city gate in the medieval city wall. In addition to the three archways, the deeply ground ruts of the old oxcart are literally impressive.
