Antalya's symbol is the Yivli Minare, a handsome and distinctive 'fluted' minaret erected by the Seljuk Sultan Aladdin Keykubad I in the early 13th century. The adjacent mosque (1373) is still in use. Within the Yivli Minare complex is the heavily restored Mevlevi Tekke (whirling dervish monastery, which probably dates from the 13th century). Nearby to the west are two türbe (tombs), one from the late 14th century and the other from 1502.
The broad plaza to the west with the equestrian statue of Atatürk is Cumhuriyet Meydanı.
