Yivli Minare Mosque Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Yivli Minare Mosque (Ulu camii) is located in Antalya, Türkiye. It is one of the first islamic buildings in the city. The mosque's fluted minaret, which is decorated with dark blue tiles, is a landmark and symbol of the city. The mosque was first built in 1230 and fully reconstructed in 1373. The minaret is 38 metres high, built on a square stone base, with eight fluted sections and has 90 steps to the top.

The first building (1230) may have been a Byzantine church originally and may have been converted into a mosque around 1225-7, during the reign of the Seljuk sultan Ala ad-Din Kay Qubadh I (1220-1237). The original mosque was destroyed in the 14th century and a new mosque was built which, with its six domes, is one of the oldest examples of multi-dome construction in Anatolia.

Today the building houses the Antalya Ethnographic Museum and contains clothing, kitchen utensils, embroidery, tapestries and looms, socks, sacks, kilims, ornaments, and nomadic tents. It was opened to the public in 1974.

Bonsoir, cher Ugur,
Une très jolie vue du Minaret en pleine période automnale.
L'environnement est de toute beauté avec ces fleurs d'un rouge saisissant.
Quant au ciel nombreux peintres voudraient bien s'en inspirer.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Ugur,
Obviously taken under quite difficult light conditions, against the sun, so a lttle dark maybe. But the red flowers come out very good here and shine very bright against the background. The tree yo the left has a very fine touch of the golden sunlight and the minaret is well placed.
Kind regards
Gunnar
