History of Fluted Minaret;

The Yivli Minare was built by Mehmed Bey from Hamidoğulları in the Kaleiçi neighborhood of Antalya. This mosque is the earliest example of mosques with multi-legged mosques in Anatolia. It is thought to have been made in 1373 years. The Yivli Minaret, which gave its name to the mosque, remained in an earlier mosque built during the time of the first Alaeddin Keykubad, the Sultan of Turkish Seljuks. This work, which is a relic from the past, was closed to faith and turned into a museum.
Architectural Features of the Fluted Minaret;
The height of the Yivli Minaret is 38 meters and it is reached by 90 stairs. The rule is cut off. The body section is made of brick and turquoise colored tiles. It is a minaret with 8 grooves. A part of the Yivli Minaret is decorated with brick and turquoise tiles. It was named Yivli Minare because of its grooves. It is a collection of works of art consisting of several Seljuk artifacts in the Kalekapısı neighborhood. There are several items that draw attention in the draft design. The first one is the arrangement made for the proper turn of the altar to the Qibla and the niche is the belt which is taken from the east. The second is the space covered with a barrel vault at the western end of the harim and the western body wall being thicker than the other body walls. It is believed that the western wall, which continued with a slight distortion, belonged to the destroyed structure before the repair of 1373. Since the walls are plastered and whitewashed in the interior, the quality of the masonry is not understood.
The main attention of the interior is the reused column body carrying the arches and the column headings. It was plastered on the facades as in the interior. There are four rectangular windows at the bottom and three rectangular windows in the upper section, a rectangular window in the lower section, two hill windows with round arches in the upper section, five rectangular windows in the lower section and three round arched top windows in the lower section. On the southern facade of the building, there are five windows on the lower side of the mihrab and others on the lower level. The situation of this window is explained differently by the researchers. The first is that the main structure of this window is the niche and that the altar that does not hold the qibla is turned into a window. The other view is that the window is located on the same axis as the door on the northern façade and at the threshold level. The doors on the east and north sides of the building have an easy construction with flat arches. In the upper part of the door in the east there are seven lines of repair inscription in the pointed arched niche.
