Hidirlik Tower

One of the oldest surviving monuments in Antalya, Hidirlik Tower, is an ancient colossal edifice located in Hesapsi Sokak of the Old Town district. This 46 feet Roman tower dates back 2000 years and provides a great view of the garden area, bushes, and the blue margins. However, this tower is not open to the public. Instead, visitors can stroll around the landmark and enjoy the view.

The foundation structures of the Hidirlik Tower were initiated during the Roman era. At the same time, the upper walls took shape during the Seljuk and Ottoman eras, showcasing historic designs belonging to the Antalya region. The base of this Kaleisi is square, while the top is cylindrical and is built of yellow brownstone blocks. It is assumed that earlier it was used as a tomb and a church during the Roman regime, while later, it was used as a lighthouse and a defence fortress. Also known as Hirdirlik Kulesi, there are stylized carvings of an axe on the tower's eastern side, right at the entrance.
