Hidirlik Tower, Roman tower and lighthouse in Antalya, Turkey

The Hidirlik Tower stands 14 meters tall with a circular upper section rising from a square base at the meeting point of Kaleiçi and Karaalioğlu Park.

The Roman Empire constructed this structure in the second century CE, initially building it as a square tower before modifying it to a circular form.

The name Hidirlik refers to the place of Khidr, connecting the tower to the spring festival of Hidirellez celebrated by multiple Muslim communities.

Visitors can enter through the eastern gate, which leads to a small room containing a narrow staircase ascending to the observation level.

The tower displays carved axes on both sides of its entrance gate, potentially indicating the status of an important person buried within.
