Kızıl Kule, Historical tower in Alanya, Turkey.
The Red Tower is an octagonal structure in Alanya built from red bricks that form its distinctive exterior. The building contains multiple levels and now serves as a museum and cultural venue.
The tower was built in 1226 under Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat I and designed by Syrian architect Ebu Ali Reha from Aleppo. It originally served as a defensive structure for the port city and shaped the area's development for centuries.
The tower houses the Alanya Ethnography Museum, displaying regional objects and handicrafts that reflect local traditions. The exhibits show how people in this region lived and worked over time.
You can walk through the tower and climb the stairs to enjoy views of the port city. It is best to wear comfortable shoes and arrive early in the day when there are fewer visitors.
The tower originally contained water cisterns and weapon storage in its upper levels that supplied the garrison. These practical details show how well the fortification functioned as a self-contained military post.
