Red Tower Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Red Tower is a fortress built in the port city of Antalya in the 13th century, mainly to defend against attacks from the sea. The octagonal red brick tower is nearly 30 meters in diameter and over 30 meters high, and together with the restored fort, is a landmark of the city. Climb to the top of the tower overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the old town, the view is spectacular. The old port, the city's garrison point and the nearby ancient shipyard are also worth seeing. Now it has become a commercial area, with pedestrian streets and commercial centers, illuminated by lanterns at night, blending historical atmosphere with modern prosperity.
