Kyzyl Kule (Red Tower) is one of the main attractions of Alanya. The tower is located in the port of the city. This building of the 13th century is considered a symbol of the city and is even depicted on the flag of the city. It was built in 1226 and is the best preserved Seljuk building in the city.
An octagonal red brick tower protects the arsenal, which dates back to 1221. The height of the structure is 33 meters, the tower has 5 floors. On 85 steps you can climb to the very top. Like many buildings in the city, the Turkish flag flies over the battlements of the tower.
In 1979, the municipality opened the Alanya Ethnographic Museum on the first floor of the tower. In addition to telling about the history of the tower and the city, the museum pays attention to heraldry, in particular, the Seljuk double-headed eagle, which is depicted on the flag.
