Shehzade Korkut Mosque

This guide to Shehzade Korkut Mosque in Antalya follows a building's centuries of reinvention, from Roman temple to Byzantine basilica to Seljuk mosque, briefly a crusader church, and a mosque again. It then settles on the prince who gave the mosque his name: Sehzade Korkut, a scholar and poet among the sons of Sultan Bayezid II, who governed Antalya from 1502 while his brothers circled their father's throne. Look up at the minaret's blunt stone top, left bare by a fire in 1896, before you step inside.
