Kuyularonu Mosque

Kuyularonu Mosque is a two-story religious building in Alanya made from stone and brick with a clean, functional interior. The prayer hall has a prominent niche on the wall facing Mecca and plenty of open floor space for worshippers.

This structure has roots in the 15th century but has been rebuilt and renewed several times over the centuries. The most recent major transformation happened in the early 2000s, giving it the form visitors see today.

The name comes from wells that once served the surrounding community in this area. Visitors can see how the interior layout follows traditional Islamic design principles that shape how people gather and pray here.

Visiting requires respectful behavior and modest dress, which means covering shoulders and knees. The interior is well-lit and straightforward to explore, with clear entry areas and an easy-to-understand layout.

This building once had a wooden minaret that was eventually replaced with a more permanent structure as construction methods evolved. It reflects how builders in the region adapted their techniques over time.
