Admire the unique fluted design of this 13th-century Seljuk masterpiece, the iconic landmark of Antalya’s skyline.

The Fluted Icon of the City

The Yivliminare Mosque, with its famous "Fluted Minaret," is the definitive landmark symbol of Antalya. Built in the 13th century by the Seljuk Sultan, this 38-meter-high brick structure is a masterpiece of medieval Islamic architecture. The minaret’s unique fluted design and its turquoise tile decorations have made it the most recognizable silhouette on the city’s skyline for nearly 800 years. Surrounded by an ancient madrasa (school) and Ottoman lodges, the mosque remains an active and peaceful place of worship in the heart of the city, representing Antalya’s deep spiritual and artistic heritage.

What Makes It Special

• Spiritual Center: Located in a historic quarter that feels remarkably peaceful despite being in the city center.

Visitor Tips

Located right next to the Clock Tower and Republican Square. As it is an active mosque, please dress modestly and avoid visiting during prayer times. It is a quick and essential photo stop before entering the Old Town.
