The Broken Minaret Mosque, located in the heart of the Old Town of Kaleici in Antalya in Antalya Province, is a fascinating testament to the region's rich history and cultural heritage. Dating back to the Byzantine Empire, the mosque was later expanded and modified by the Seljuk Turks and the Ottoman Empire, featuring stunning Islamic architecture and calligraphy. The recently restored minaret stands tall behind a piece of ruined, carved stone with elaborate, neat, ancient Greek writing, most likely from an earlier temple on the same site. The ruins and restoration of the Broken Minaret Mosque are a must-see for visitors interested in Islamic and Ottoman art, ancient ruins, and the Eastern Mediterranean's antiquity
