The minaret is a typical example of Seljuk architecture with a square base surmounted by an octagonal drum bearing the fluted shaft with its corbelled gallery round the top. The attached 14th century mosque is still in use today, The ancient harbor- Today the harbor is still at the heart of Antalya, at water's edge in the historic core of the city called Kaleici (Old Antalya).
