Ä°skele Mosque, Antalya
Ä°skele Mosque, situated in Antalya, is a charming place of worship that can be found by strolling along Mermerli Street, which runs adjacent to the old beach of Antalya. Nestled on the vintage background breakwater, the mosque beckons visitors to descend the stone steps that lead to the Old Port. As you make your way downstairs, you'll discover the modest Ä°skele Mosque, perched on the banks of the picturesque yacht harbor, just a short distance from the glistening water.
Compared to other notable attractions in Antalya, Ä°skele Mosque is relatively young, having been constructed in the late nineteenth century. The entire mosque is crafted from stone, lending it a unique sense of harmony amidst the lush vegetation that surrounds it. The mosque's architectural design revolves around a central spring that emerges from the ground, with the mosque itself supported by four pillars that tower above the natural water source.
