A landmark historical building in Antalya. Everything is clean, beautiful, there are staff - free entrance, there is a toilet. There is a small souvenir market and a supermarket nearby.
The minaret has an ancient history. Once upon a time there was a temple erected by the Romans, which was later turned into a Byzantine basilica.
The mosque appeared here at the turn of the XV-XVI centuries.
At the end of the XIX century, as a result of a lightning strike (one of the versions), a fire occurred that destroyed the wooden dome of the building. Therefore, the name of the building is translated as "Truncated minaret".

A beautiful place, a historical building, quite large-scale. But it didn't work out to get close, it was fenced off. I had to take pictures from afar. There are small colored houses nearby, it looks quite interesting.
