In history it was once the sprawling modern Roman town, then the Byzantine Empire, then Seljuks, and finally the Ottoman Turkish town. Hadrian’s Gate, also known as the Three Gates, is one of Antalya’s most iconic landmarks — a magnificent triumphal arch built in honor of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Another must-see is the city’s famous Broken Minaret, part of the Korkut Mosque. Originally constructed as a Roman temple in the 2nd century AD, this ancient structure has witnessed centuries of transformation - from temple to church to mosque - and its broken minaret stands today as a silent symbol of Antalya’s rich and layered history.. Hidirlik Tower is one of Antalya’s most striking landmarks, standing proudly at the point where Kaleiçi, the city’s historic old town, meets Karaalioglu Park. Built of warm tawny stone, the tower is believed to date back to the Hellenistic period, originally constructed on a square base and later transformed into a circular tower in the 2nd century AD. Throughout its long history, it is thought to have served as either a fortification or a lighthouse, watching over the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.
