historical tower in a wondering scenery... one of good spots for watching sunset
The Hıdırlık Tower is a landmark tower of tawny stone in Antalya, Turkey, where Kaleiçi meets Karaalioglu Park. It is believed that the ruling Roman Empire built this in the second century CE on a square plan. The same century, it was turned into circular tower. It has since been used as a fortification or a lighthouse. The tower is situated at the southern side of the place, where the land walls of the city join the sea walls. The 14 metres (46 ft) high structure consists a circular tower rising on a quadratic pedestal. The tower's gate at the eastern side leads to a small room, from where a narrow staircase goes up. There are signs of restoration work on the upper part done in the Seljuk and Ottoman eras. The reason for the tower’s construction is still subject to argument. Although it resembles Roman period mausoleums in plan, it more likely served as a lighthouse and watchtower for the harbour.
