The Red Tower, known locally as Kızıl Kule, is one of the most recognizable
symbols of Alanya, Turkey. Built in the 13th century during the Seljuk period,
this impressive octagonal structure overlooks the harbor and coastline.
Constructed from distinctive red bricks, the tower was designed to protect the
harbor and shipyard. Today, visitors can explore its interior museum exhibits
and climb to the upper levels for panoramic sea views.
For travelers, the Red Tower offers a unique opportunity to experience Seljuk
architecture while enjoying scenic views of Alanya Harbor and the
Mediterranean Sea.
