Photo and description

Ivli brick minaret without a mosque is a symbol of Antalya. It was built in the 13th century under the Seljuk sultan Alaeddin. It stands on a square plinth decorated with azure mosaics. The minaret is easily recognizable by its longitudinal vertical depressions in the stone. In addition, it lacks the turquoise faience cladding traditional for Turkish architecture.
