It was probably built in 1226 or 27, during the time of Seljuk Sultan, Kai Kobad I, and is now a landmark in Antalya.

The brick minaret stands on a stone base and is partially decorated with blue tiles. However, it’s the eight channels, which give it its name, that make it so special.

Another special feature can be found inside the mosque. There are 800 year old water channels, which are protected under glass. At that time, the house of worship is said to have been cooled with rain and snow water that accumulated in the channels and heated with hot water coming from the hamam.

The structure, which is conspicuous even from a distance, is 38 meters high. It was built at the highest point in Kaleiçi above sea level and is regarded as one of the symbols of the city of Antalya.
