About Korkuteli Alaaddin Camii

Korkuteli Alaaddin Camii is a historic mosque in Alaaddin Mahallesi, Korkuteli. There is no firm record of when it was built, but an inscription on the minaret records that the minaret was built by Murat Paşa in 1571, and the mosque is commonly thought to date from the 14th century, with strong Ilkhanid influence. The present building is a smaller mosque added against the original mihrab wall, so the earlier walls now read like courtyard walls, and it is covered by a part-timber tiled roof. The brick minaret rises from a cut-stone square base, is decorated with tile vases and three rows of tile plates, and ends in a conical cap. Excavation of the garden in 2005 found coins, gravestones and architectural fragments.
