Its story
Construction began in 1228 near Kızıl Kule, six years after Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad captured the city, and was completed in a year. The building, consisting of five arched bays, has a sea-facing front of 56.5 m and a depth of 44 m. The inscription on the entrance gate bears the sultan's emblem. Together with the adjacent tophane (armory), it forms a historic site reached by sea.
