Yivli Minaret Mosque
Yivli Minare Camii
A 13th-century Seljuk brick minaret with fluted walls, about 38 metres tall, and a landmark of Antalya.
The minaret was commissioned in the early 13th century by Seljuk Sultan Kaykhusraw I (Keykubad I). Its shaft is formed by eight half-round fluted sections. Blue and green glazed tiles once decorated the joints between the bricks, and fragments can still be seen. The current mosque was rebuilt in the 14th century. Next to it are the Mevlevi lodge and the remains of an Islamic school, forming a small complex. The mosque is free to enter. Dress modestly and avoid prayer times. It is beside Cumhuriyet Square at the northern entrance to Kaleiçi, within walking distance of Hadrian's Gate and the clock tower.
